This book is a welcome easy reading addition to the text set on the Westward Expansion in American history that includes Dakota Dugout, Aurora Means Dawn, Warm As Wool, Log Cabin Quilt, The Divide, and Mississippi Mud. Predictive strategies would work well e.g., What will happen when the baby comes? Winter comes? Readers may want to compare and contrast personal experiences of hardship or moving with those in the story. |
