The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine


ThePurloining of Prince Oleomargarine by Mark Twain & Philip Stead, 152 pages
"Based on a set of unfinished Mark Twain notes for a children's story, this is the tale of Johnny, a young boy with a magical ability to speak to animals who sets off to rescue a stolen prince." This is a very simple book that would be easy to read for beginning readers.  It might be a hard sell because the illustrations are muted and some kids might think that it looks dull but it’s a funny story that has enough adventure to be interesting and I think that a lot of kids would like it if they give it a chance.
