Three boxes of school books were delivered today, and I'm feeling the need to peg down some specific book selections for Toa of Boy's reading time. Toa of Boy has decided that he is too old for the beginning readers, so....I'm trying to find some nice intermediate books for him. He's still a bit intimidated by pages that are too full of text. I'm using Amazon's 'search inside this book' feature to preview the books for Toa's reading level and interest.

This is a beginning reader book, but its for grades 2-4, so maybe Toa will accept it.
