Horn Book (Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2006)

This broad view of the civil rights era opens with rhyming descriptions of life in the segregated South (in a familiar cumulative format). Subsequent spreads describe protests and boycotts; final verses reflect today's realities. The history is necessarily simplified, but for young children the book clearly connects the dots. Ransome's bold paintings are well composed; collage borders add emotion and historical context.

Franklin is thrilled when he finds a giant pumpkin in his backyard, until he discovers that the competition at this year's fall fair is for the biggest zucchini! This Level 2 first reader contains longer stories, varied sentences, increased vocabulary, more difficult visual clues and some repetition.
