During her first year in a one-room school in the Kentucky hills, Bonnie has many exciting experiences, from getting her first book to playing an angel in a play.

School days, like our everydays, have changed. But the obsolete world of the one-room schoolhouse filled with rough-hewn desks still lingers. The echoes of yesteryear live on in the old-fashioned classrooms that still stand today. Harkening back to a time when the three Rs actually stood for reading, 'riting, and religion, Eric Sloane's sketchbook explores the history and spirit of early American schools. In this vivid slice of Americana, he tells of when paper was a precious commodity, explains the origins of words such as "blackboard" and "moonlighting," and offers evocative illustrations of New England's eighteenth- and nineteenth-century schoolhouses and their delightfully modest interiors. Filled with insight, warmth, and honest nostalgia, "The Little Red Schoolhouse" is an enchanting journey into a bygone past.

As the school bell rings, an adorable squirrel named Landon begins his day with excitement. By lunchtime, he feels sad because he notices that he doesn't do things the same way as his friends at school. When Landon's teacher invites him to have lunch with her, she shares what she sees to be his special gifts and talents and reminds him of specific ways that the world needs his strengths! Little Schoolhouse in the Woods is a place where readers celebrate uniqueness as strength. The world needs many types of strengths, and it is important for everyone to learn the significance of their own in-born talents.
