That is what this shelf is: books two through ten, the 12-book box set, and the complete 19-book treasury. Buy the box.

That is narration, and it is the whole of second-grade language arts if you let it be. The Magic Tree House 1-28 box is on this shelf for the same reader, because the two series trade off perfectly: a Boxcar mystery, then a trip to the dinosaurs, then a Boxcar mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo more things: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kit-read-aloud-year\"\u003eThe Read-Aloud Year\u003c\/a\u003e is the shelf for the books you read to them while they read these to themselves, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/map-49\"\u003ethe $49 map\u003c\/a\u003e builds the year around your actual child.
