While I admire very much the* Scientist in the Fields *books and have no doubt some 4th graders enjoy them I agree with Booklist's reviewer for *The Hive Detective* who recommended it for grades 6-10. As for your* If Stones Could Talk* their reviewer recommended it for grades 4-6 which makes sense for me. And by the way, I often recommend and give my students these books. Just a few weeks ago I gave one *Sugar Changed the World*. So, believe me, I'm well acquainted with 4th graders like the one that inspired *If Stones Could Talk.* But what about less-sophisticated 4th graders as well as average 3rd graders and 2nd graders and 1st graders? What examples of L books do you have for them?
