Dodsworth in London

By: Tim Egan

A perfect chapter book for younger readers - Dodsworth in London is great for those who are beginning to read slightly longer chapter books. At the same time, the pictures of historical markers in London are great to keep the attention span of the reader. In this series, there is a Dodsworth in New York and a Dodsworth in Paris - both of which are set up in the same short chapter form. What I like about this book are the adorable characters - Dodsworth and his friend, Duck. They travel about London in this particular book and sight see, cause a little trouble and get separated from each other! After finding their way back to each other, the pair adorably set out on another adventure. This book is a great way to introduce a new topic to students (travel, London, etc.) or one I would recommend to 2nd -3rd grade students who are progressing to more difficult chapter books.

Ages: 6-9
