Children's Literature
Oh, my! Just as the boy is about to tuck into some delicious cake and pie, a naughty cat leaps from the window sill. Cakes and pie fly and one messy boy has to strip down to his underwear. (Certain to get a giggle from the readers.) All cleaned up, it is time to take three energetic dogs for a walk. You can guess what happens when the dogs see the cat and chase it up a very tall tree—firemen, fire trucks, a visit to the vet and home again where it is time to eat, bathe and go to sleep. From the "Step Into Reading" program, this Step 1 book is described as appropriate for "children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading." Rhyming text, simple vocabulary with picture cues and a few words (barely, cozy, partly) that will expand the beginning reader's vocabulary. Wonderfully-silly illustrations make this book a great addition to any elementary school classroom or library. 2004, Random House, Ages 3 to 6.—Anita Barnes Lowen
