A beginning reader adaptation of the classic American folktale. Icabod Crane maneuvers to court Katrina Van Tassel, but Brom Bones has other ideas. Brom ties to be nice to Icabod, but when Icabod is rude, Brom plans a surprise for him. Or does he? Perhaps the legend of Sleepy Hollow is true and Icabod suffers an encounter with the nefarious Headless Horseman! Simple multi-color pencil drawings accompany the beginning reader text of this adaptation.
Merit: Whitespace, large font and plentiful illustrations render a good beginning, transitional reader rendition of the classic tale.
Share: Read-along or read-from.
Appeal: The ability to read a classic tale to oneself helps the self-esteem of the new reader.
