|  | The Educated Child by Chester E. Finn, John Cribb, John T. E. Cribb, William J. Bennett

After asserting that parental involvement is crucial to a child's academic success, this strategic resource suggests ways to evaluate and improve school quality, communicate with teachers, establish discipline, and support children who have learning disabilities.

 | Robinson Crusoe by Angus Ross, Barbara Chitouras, Beulah F. Jackson, Bob Blaisdell, Dan Lazar
Defoe's immensely popular and influential work, published in 1719, tells the story of an English mariner, the sole survivor of a shipwreck, who manages to survive for 28 years on a deserted island in the South Pacific. Defoe's depiction of the hardships and ingenuities of the castaway are masterly, as is his description of loneliness and isolation. He builds a house, teaches himself to grow corn and barley, and bakes bread. When a band of cannibals invades his island, he drives them away, but rescues one of their prisoners--the faithful Friday--who remains with Crusoe until their eventual rescue and return to England.
