Hooray for the Golly Sisters by Betsy Byars

May-May and Rose, the Golly sisters, continue their traveling show and encounter humorous adventures along the way, including crossing a river, a high-wire act, using pigs in a magic show, going through a swamp and creating cheers. Their adventures are told in five chapters along with colorful illustrations portraying pioneer clothing, life and landscapes.

An I Can Read Book that follows the recommended rules for easy readers - pictures complement the story, large print, lots of space between words and sentences, action ends and begins within the chapters, simple known vocabulary words, short sentence length, etc. I would say it is written for level two.
