The Three Dollar Mule
My mom and I have been looking for good books to read. I had been reading the Polk Street School books by Patricia Reilly Giff and have finished them. Mom remembered Clyde Robert Bulla books and how much my older sisters enjoyed them when they were my age. I read THIS great book in one morning. It's about a boy who reluctantly buys an ornery mule for $3 after he sees a man beating him. Don, ...

Charlie's House2 reviews
Clyde Robert Bulla
Crowell, 1983
Best Book Ever
I think this book would be very good for kids that don't usually like to read. In the beginning, it is very sad, so you want to find out what happens to Charlie. You keep reading because you like Charlie's personality and you care about what will happen to him.

Prediction Skills
This is a great book to use when you help enhance your students' prediction skills. You could have the students guess what they think will happen next as you orally read the story. You could also have the students write their own ending and then read the book's ending to see if they guessed right or if they like their own ending better! I would use this in grades 1-3.

The Moon Singer
This was my favorite childhood book. Although it originally belonged to my brother, I claimed it for my own. Throughout years of foster homes and state homes, this book captured my imagination and gave me hope that I needed. It's an amazing story with some outstanding illustrations.

Riding the Pony Express3 reviews
Clyde Robert Bulla
Harpercollins, 1961
Excellent Adventure Story
Clyde Robert Bulla is one of my favorite writers for children. He writes interesting, well-paced historical fiction with characters that feel authentic.
This book, "Riding the Pony Express", captivated my 2nd grader for a week. Although he doesn't really like books with "too many words", he frequently read beyond the pages I had assigned to see what would happen next.
This book is ...

The Sword in the Tree7 reviews
Clyde Robert Bulla
HarperCollins Children's Books, 1956
High Interest for a New Reader
Once your child has moved beyond easy phonetic readers, you'll want to find interesting books with large print that aren't too difficult or overwhelming for the new reader. Bulla's "The Sword in the Tree" fits this description perfectly. Try reading the first chapter to your young reader to spark his interest. Then read the next chapter or two aloud together so he/she becomes familiar with ...

Joseph, The Dreamer2 reviews
Clyde Robert Bulla
Crowell, 1971
The Best of Bulla
I have found the quality of Clyde R. Bulla's work to vary quite a bit from book to book. Joseph the Dreamer is among his best. The story carefully follows the Bible, and uses similarly elevated (but accessible) language. Like the story in the Golden Children's Bible, Bulla has Potiphar's wife accuse Joseph of mocking her. This makes the tale appropriate for all ages--parents and teachers ...

The Secret Valley1 review
Clyde Robert Bulla
Demco Media, 1993
Wonderful Introduction to Chapter Books for kids...
I love Clyde Robert Bulla's stories, and, more importantly, so do my children. In simple and accessible language, Bulla tells fascinating - often historical - stories that will keep your child riveted to the page.
The Secret Valley is set during the California Gold Rush, and relates the adventures of the Davis family (and their cat, Nugget) as they travel from Missouri by covered wagon to ...

Ghost Town Treasure1 review
Clyde Robert Bulla

One of my favorite stories from my youth

Singing Sam1 review
Clyde Robert Bulla
Perfection Learning Prebound, 1989
Very good book for K-2 children
Singing Sam describes a boy who was spoiled by his parents, and a girl who loved Sam the dog just the way he was. My 6 year old son loved reading this book. We discussed why the spoiled boy behaved that way, and what his parents could have done to help him to be less self-centered. This book can lead to a lot of good discussions on how we should treat other people and pets. The book was easy ...

My friend the monster2 reviews
Clyde Robert Bulla
Trumpet Club, 1991
My most memorable book
My Friend the Monster was my first "chapter book" that I read with little assistance from my parents. It made a huge impact on me. Years later, I realized that this book was the first objective look at prejudice that I had. It made me want to befriend those who were different and helped me realize that if and when I'm the different one, I want people to befriend me. I highly recommend this ...

Enduring Adventure
I did not read this book, which was originally published the year that I was born, until I read it to my own children in the last few years. The copy that I have now was one that my mother ordered and read herself back in 1968 and which somehow ended up on my childrens' bookshelf.
I originally read it to my 8 year old daughter (who is now 10), who loved it so much, that we read it again and ...

Valerian
This was one of the first books I can remember reading. It made a huge impact on me, so much so that 20 years later I found myself searching for and buying it online. I highly recomend it for any child or for the adult who is a child at heart. Very emotional and well worth the read.

Squanto: Friend of Pilgrims1 review

Scholastic, 1989
Squanto: A Hero from Beginning to End
We are studying American Indians this year via Sonlight curriculum. This book was on the list of historical fiction readers to accompany our studies and we were thrilled. My 8 year old devoured this chapter book--just couldn't put it down. As soon as he let it go, I took my turn. Although we just read this, we will read it again as a family before Thanksgiving.
This story follows Squanto ...
