The Yearling
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1939. Set in the backwoods of Florida, it's the story of lonely 12-year-old Jody Baxter's relationship with his father, his love for his pet fawn, and his passage from boyhood to manhood.
No novel better epitomizes the love between a child and a pet than The Yearling. When young Jody Baxter adopts and orphaned fawn he calls Flag, he makes it a part of his family and his best friend. But life in the Florida backwoods is harsh, and so, as his family fights off wolves, bears, and even alligators, and faces failure in their tenuous subsistence farming, Jody must finally part with his dear animal friend.
There has been a film and even a musical based on this moving story, a fine work of great American literature which won Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings a Pulitzer Prize. Complete with N.C. Wyeth’s original oil paintings, this glowing work features a soft touch cover, gold foiling, and tip-in artwork.
The title sums up this series - twenty-four workbooks, each focusing on a specific skill. This series would be a great reinforcement and test prep for core math content, or serve as extra practice for the student having difficulty. They provide from 24 to 32 pages for each targeted skill and are somewhat like the "Key To" series, but for younger kids. Students will progress from one to three digit addition and subtraction in level C to multi-step word problems in level F. An 8-page answer key provides pretests and post tests so you can gauge your student's progress. These tests are reproducible for classroom or family use. It also provides answers to the pretest, post, test and workbook pages. Manipulatives for suggested use are base-ten blocks, fraction strips, a variety of measuring devices, and centimeter cubes. They also tell you how you can make your own fractions strips and a few ways you can use the tools. You can't go wrong with extra practice at this price. ~ Donna
