Martha Freeman’s chapter books are designed for the youngest independent readers. Mrs. Wow Never Wanted a Cow, published in 2006, is a humorous story about unexpected guests. Goldilocks, Go Home!, published in 2019, puts a fresh spin on the classic fairy tale.
Both books use short chapters, playful language, and lots of humor to keep early readers engaged. They sit at that crucial bridge between picture books and longer middle-grade novels, giving kids a sense of accomplishment when they finish a “real” book.
