FROM AMERICA'S MOST TRUSTED NAME IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION Every book in the Bank Street Ready-to-Read series is targeted at the individual abilities of children ages four to eight. The three interconnecting levels of the series are structured to grow along with a child's developing reading skills. This book is just right for a child old enough to say, "I Can Read It Myself," but it will also be enjoyed as a read-aloud by younger children. Peach Boy A magical boy springs from a peach in answer to a lonely couple's wish for a son. But can the boy and his animal friends save the people from wicked oni monsters? In this traditional Japanese folktale, an entire village depends on young Momotaro--Peach Boy.
