(3) K-3 Road to Reading series. Illustrated by Bob Doucet. This smoothly written account of the "Cardiff Giant" describes why George Hull had a man-made statue buried in a farm field and how it became a tourist attraction as a fossilized human. Illustrated with color artwork and a few black-and-white photographs, the true historical account of a nineteenth-century hoax will intrigue early readers.
