Nate the Great and the Lost List

Nate the Great and the Lost List was one of many in the series that we were privileged to share over the course of his childhood. Nate the Great opened the world of reading to both of my sons. Because Marjorie Weinman Sharmat is a master of using specific aggregates of words for each story, both of them began to read without much difficulty as a result of these tremendous stories. Over and over again, this wonderful series of books brought the inner thoughts of children into written form. I came across the series the other day, tucked safely away for any grandchildren that might come along.

Nate the Great is hot on the trail of the lost list in this book which appeals to both boys and girls. Nates' vacation is interupted when he is asked to locate a missing grocery list. True to form, Nate doggedly pursues clues in his neigborhood and successfully solves this case.The storyline and comic-book like illustrations assist young readers in following Nate along the trail of the missing list. A great read for young and old alike!
