Peach Boy

FROM AMERICA’S MOST TRUSTED NAME IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

     Every book in the Bank Street Ready-to-Read series is targeted at the individual abilities of children ages four to eight. The three interconnecting levels of the series are structured to grow along with a child’s developing reading skills.

This book is just right for a child old enough to say, “I Can Read It Myself,” but it will also be enjoyed as a read-aloud by younger children.

Peach Boy

     A magical boy springs from a peach in answer to a lonely couple’s wish for a son. But can the boy and his animal friends save the people from wicked oni monsters?  In this traditional Japanese folktale, an entire village depends on young Momotaro—Peach Boy.
