In the past few years it has become increasingly obvious that a "gap" exists in the literature currently being published for young readers.

There are on the market excellent books for beginning readers. And there are many fine books for children who can read at the fourth-grade level. But until now few books have been published that are aimed specifically at the readers "in between".

Step-Up Books Have Been Created to Close That Gap

All Step-Up Books, according to the Spache Readability Formula, can be read by children at the late second-grade and early third-grade level. The subject matter is carefully chosen to appeal to the suddenly expanding breadth of interest of the child who has reached this level of reading and is anxious to get the facts.

Do you have a beginning reader who is ready to take the next step up?

Then here (At Last!) is the perfect book.

In this brand-new series:

• THE WORDS ARE HARDER (but not much)
• THERE'S A LOT MORE TEXT (but it's in bigger print)
• THERE ARE PLENTY OF ILLUSTRATIONS (but it's not just a picture book)
• And the subject matter has been carefully chosen to appeal to the young reader who is just discovering the wonderful world around him. Now he can discover it through the wonderful world of books.
