Description
DONALD HALL
Winner of the Caldecott Medal
Thus begins a lyrical journey through the days and weeks, the months, and the changing seasons in the life of one New Englander and his family. The oxcart man packs his goods – the wool from his sheep, the shawl his wife made, the mittens his daughter knitted, and the linen they wove. He packs the birch brooms his son carved, and even a bag of goose feathers from the barnyard geese.
He travels over hills, through valleys, by streams, past farms and villages. At Portsmouth Market he sells his goods, one by one – even his beloved ox. Then, with his pockets full of coins, he wanders through the market, buying provisions for his family, and returns to his home. And the cycle begins again.
“Like a pastoral symphony translated into picture book format, the stunning combination of text and illustrations recreates the mood of 19-century rural New England.”—The Horn Book
Note: The additional readers for the LLATL Red Book are the ‘picture books’ for you to read to your child throughout the programme. Once you’ve read one of these picture book stories to your child, then he/she will do an activity based on that story in their student workbook. Once your child has finished the reading programme, he/she will be able to read those same “additional readers” which you read to them during the teaching process.
