Description

From the earliest stages of sounding out words to the excitement of reading a whole book without help, Ready-to-Read books open up a world of possibilities to children at three different levels:

  • LEVEL 2: READING TOGETHER
  • LEVEL 3: READING ALONE

Pinky has twenty-seven stuffed animals, and Rex has twenty-seven dinosaurs. They have everything the same, and that's the way it should be with best friends. So what do they do when there's only one pink dinosaur in the museum gift shop, and they both want it Could Pinky's pesky little sister Amanda have the answer

Reviews

"School Library Journal" Childlike, appealing, and believable...good additions to the scanty collection of easy fiction for young readers.
"The Horn Book" The characters are appealing and human, and the colorful illustrations are filled with action and detail...showing the gentle warmth of the stories.
