The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read by Rita Lorraine Hubbard

5.0

---

This astonishing true story literally made my 6 year old gasp out loud numerous times with amazement. We loved The Oldest Student, including the interesting illustrations and the photographs in the back. More than anything, we simply loved learning about someone whose exemplary determination and willingness to try new things, regardless of her age, were inspirational.
