Three children, tired of observing their mother work so hard but not bring home much income, decide to take leftover potatoes from a neighboring field. While their mother works the night shift, they load up their younger brother in their red wagon and pick up potatoes in the dark.
A huge surprise awaits them when they dump their sacks on the floor and bigger surprise makes a lasting impact when they approach the farmer the next day.
A great book about honesty and generosity.
Strategies/skills: inferring-figurative language, word choice/expand vocab., sequencing, cause/effect
The "countrified" vocabulary and dialect may make this difficult for less confident readers.
*Highly recommend.
