1-3Ready-for-Chapters: Brave Kids series.
Illustrated by
Doris Ettlinger.
This story is based on an episode in the real Cora's memoirs about growing up on the Iowa prairie at the turn of the nineteenth century. While on their way to make a house call, Cora and her doctor father encounter a fast-spreading prairie fire and survive thanks to their courage and ingenuity. The accessible text is accompanied by soft black-and-white drawings. Bib.
