- I was hoping to get some ideas for my step daughter. She reads the Junie B Jones serious but I have to admit that I cannot stand that character. She is bratty and gets away with some terrible behavior.

- Second Graders love the Thornton Burgess books. One of our favorites was White Foot the Woodmouse.
These little books are easily read independently by most second graders and feature animals from the Green Forest or the Green Meadows where Mother Westwind sends out her Merry Little Breezes.
