A Country Schoolhouse

(3) K-3 Grandpa tells his grandson about his idyllic childhood attending a three-room school. The folksy text and cheery watercolor and ink illustrations emphasize the benefits and rigors of old-fashioned learning as well as the pleasures of a country school, from being warmed by a woodstove to making trips to the outhouse. This is an engaging, unabashedly nostalgic look back at the good ol' days.
Reviewer: Rachel L. Smith
