The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: #1 A Song for Aunt Polly (Easy Reader Classics, Level 1) - Perfect for Kids' Bedtime Stories & Classroom Reading

A brief, simplified retelling of the episode in Tom Sawyer in which Tom skips his piano lesson and goes swimming instead.

So crafty Tom hides from Aunt Polly--what youngster in his place wouldn't? And that's what makes this perfectly crafted excerpt from an acknowledged classic so enjoyable on its own.
