(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. This early chapter book about a six-year-old boy's reluctance to start school uses a distinctive setting (the early nineteenth-century Indiana frontier) to explore a universal theme: change is scary. Though modern readers are unlikely to fret over panthers crossing their paths, they'll identify with gentle Beansie's fears and cheer his final triumph. Soft black-and-white drawings accompany the text. Glos.
