To the Top! Climbing the World's Highest Mountain (Step-Into-Reading, Step 5) CustomerReview




I purchased this book along with several others because of its high interest topic, for my son, who is very capable, but at times, a reluctant reader. He became quickly engrossed in the story and read it in two sittings. I recommend this book for its ability to engage and inform. I am impressed with the content of the book, which lacks no important information for any young person curious about the pursuit of Mt. Everest. The drawings and photographs are also appealing. Our son is 8 and reads at a fourth grade level, and this book is recommended for second to fourth grade readers. The bottom line for us is keeping him interested with good material, which this book accomplished easily. He is looking forward to more :)
