When a boy finds a canteen in his garage, he finds his superpower--helping everyone, from the postman to the local birds. I walk.I see a dog.
I help. Very simple text and fun pictures support comprehension in this delightful book, ideal for new readers just starting out. Easy to read and brightly illustrated, this is a perfect book to read on their own! Other books in this series: I Hop (a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book), Up, I See, and I Dig, featuring the same curious, excited brothers exploring the world around them and celebrating the diversity of everyday life. For readers who have mastered basic sight words, Level C books feature slightly longer sentences and a wider range of high-frequency words than Level B books. Level C books are suitable for mid-to-late kindergarten readers. When Level C is mastered, follow up with Level D. The award-winning I Like to Read (c) 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!
