(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Doris Ettlinger & Doris Ettlinger. In this interesting and little-known historical anecdote, a carrier pigeon named G. I. Joe transports a message to American troops during WWII and prevents the bombing of an Italian village. Despite some unfortunate anthropomorphizing ("G. I. Joe was not afraid"; "G. I. Joe was smart"), the easy-to-read text and uncluttered illustrations will be accessible to beginning readers.
