Big Cat likes to nap--but his family has other ideas in this Guided
Reading Level A story, simple enough for young readers to understand on
their own!
A pair of rowdy siblings wake their furry friend up to play, and proceed
to carry him around the house--no matter how the cat feels about it.
They love Big Cat, and it's clear Big Cat loves them, too. . . . even if
he doesn't love flying or playing dress-up. His cartoonishly
exagerrated expressions are sure to charm.
With five words or less per page, this story is simple enough to be the
first book a child reads on their own--and funny enough to become a
favorite. Geisel Medalist Ethan Long's illustrations of the big-bellied
feline and his enthusiastic human pals bring Big Cat's adventures to
life. Big Cat can be fun--and reading can be fun, too!
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!
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.
