Funny characters, humorous pictures, and an eco-friendly message– and a text just right for the newest kindergarten reader in this Level A story.
“I like my bike. I like my car. I like my big car. I like my truck.” The text in this humorous story is simple and repetitive–just right for new readers–but the pictures are wacky and imaginative. A sea lion chauffeurs a large shark, while a cactus drives a canvas-covered pickup truck, and a tiny mouse drives tractor-trailer filled with cheese. All the vehicles, except for the bicycle, get stuck in traffic, as a girl merrily rides along to her destination–a birthday party. The artwork, in addition to supporting the text and providing surface level comprehension, is chock-full of details that allow for (but don’t insist upon) deeper comprehension. There are subtexts, connections, and opportunities for inference. Level A books, suitable for early kindergarten, are ideal first books for kids to read on their own. One short sentence repeats on every page with one word change per spread. Simple plots are heavily supported by the detailed illustrations. When Level A is mastered, follow up with Level B. The award-winning I Like to Read(R) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators–including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors–create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!Author: Ag Ferrari
