Leveled reader (level 1)
A lot of thought has been put into this book about how to make reading both enjoyable and achievable for new readers. The end pages hold (in friendly language free from patronizing undertones) some helpful tips for parents to encourage their children along the way. Additionally, each of the four charming tales featuring Larry the porcupine and Rita the squirrel are introduced by a short summary for the parent to read aloud, allowing the child to then explore the story through both the intuitive text and charismatic illustrations. Highly recommended to beginning readers, ages 3-6. *****
