Catholic American Cardinal Readers
These great and highly-praised readers, originally published by Benziger Bros., now re-published by The Neumann Press, were the mainstay of the Catholic parochial schools during the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. They still form part of the core curriculum for home schoolers and private schools lucky enough to still have old copies of these books. They should be in every school and Catholic home library.
