Choose books invited kids to exercise some agency, as they rattled around in these cages of limited possibility: millions of seven-year-olds who would someday become thirty-five-year-olds remembering with an aching nostalgia this early sense of freedom; this faith that, after every death, there would always be a do-over. It argued that its � Discover what life was like during Westward Expansion by jumping into a role where the choices you make could lead you to opportunity, wealth, poverty, or death. Space and Beyond helps you answer that question, a book that takes you on an adventure of your choosing through the vast emptiness of space encountering mysterious creatures, extra-terrestrials, planets, and much more.

Why read a book with a single possible ending when you could read one that lets you choose from multiple? A graded reader series uses simplified language, suitable for struggling readers and for those learning English as a second language.

Even though I regularly blog about sharing books with my first grader, I actually have a very hard time remembering what books I enjoyed reading when I was in elementary school.

You let yourself rummage through the rest of the book to find every single ending, the same way you’d rummage through a bag of chips (if your nutritionist mother let you eat chips) to find every single shard.
