I read and loved "Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates" in third grade. Of course, that was a l-o-n-g time ago!
My third grade teacher used to read Jack Tales when we had some down time. I googled it and got The Jack Tales by Richard Chase and it sounds like the same book. Funny, funny short stories.
I also don't remember at what age I read them, but I loved the Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective series by Donald J. Sobel. Natalie
