So a minor piece of juvenile "space fiction" today. This little juvenile story is about scuba divers adventures and in this book they help out the divers who retrieve re-entry capsules. It has bad guys and secret submarines and space monkeys and plenty of adventure. Unfortunately it is hard to show all that so you get instead a kind of telegraphic adventure with a "chose you own ending." Coleman, James C. et al. Rocket Divers. San Francisco: Harr Wagner. (98 p.) 1962 SO What Happens? See if you can tell from these final quiz questions....

My Weekly Reader September 11, 1961

September 11, 1961 So I came across another "stash" of old Weekly Readers that I am going to share for the next few weeks. I have written before how these tiny newspaper appeared in our classrooms every week during the school year (and the summer too).
