In 1957, Harper published its first I Can Read title, Little Bear, written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Large type, simple vocabulary, chapter-like divisions, and decorative pictures made Little Bear perfect for emerging readers-they could read the story comfortably and not feel overwhelmed by the text. Following suit came such classics as Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia series, Lillian Hoban's books about Arthur the monkey, and Syd Hoff's popular Danny and the Dinosaur. Many books in this series are special in the depth of emotion evoked - Little Bear, the Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel, and Daniel's Duck by Clyde Bulla, to name a few - and all are enjoyed by children of all ages. Grade 2 - Grade 4.
A novice wood carver is momentarily defeated when people laugh at the result of a winter of work.

Daniel spends the winter carving his first project, a duck, but when people laugh at it at the fair, he tries to throw it away. The best carver in the settlement then prevents this and tells Daniel that all efforts are meaningful, especially your first. Shows children too be proud of anything they put effort into.
