This book is my alternative format. This book is an ebook. I really enjoyed reading a book online. The unique feature about this book is that you could choose a particular age level and the reading level depended on what age level you chose.

This sounds like a fun book the children will love. I think it is funny how the King didn't realize how costly the fun might be! Thank you for the interesting resource to get e-books.
ReplyDeleteRhonda thanks for sharing this book! I like that the book incorporates technology as well as different reading levels. I also like the new story line the author gave to an old and familiar nursery rhyme. It would be a cute idea to have the students make up their own story line to a nursery rhyme to give it a new twist!
