The Caramel Tree Readers Level 4 is a delicious series of leveled readers for children ages 7 to 9. Students expand to diverse original stories with a word count of approximately 2,000 words.

The stories in this series vary with narrative in first person or third person, and they have increased character dialogue, which allows students to develop character studies. They focus on realistic fiction and have settings that students can relate to, but each story has a unique twist that will keep students thinking.

The children are outraged at the squished bugs that are being left under their pillows in exchange for their fallen teeth. They're sure something must have happened to the Tooth Fairy, and when they investigate, they find that she is being held captive by the Toothless Pirate. It takes some ingenuity to free her and stop receiving the squished bugs from her captor.
