Comments:  This book is more for students/children in 2nd and 3rd grade.  If you want a 4th grade student to read this book, then it has to be a child that has difficulty in reading.  The words are basic sight words.  I recommend asking critical thinking questions if you are going to use this book for a fourth grader.
