The joys of giving and receiving are celebrated in this easy-to-read
Level B story.
On a cold day, a shivering cat jumps through the basement window of a
small apartment building. Inside he meets Rat, who shows him upstairs.
Along the way, Cat meets everyone in the building--and each of his new,
welcoming neighbors has a gift to share.
When he reaches the top, Cat finds a place of his own. Cat is happy!
Cutaway illustrations of the apartment building, filled with the
characters' cozy homes, give young readers plenty of details to pore
over, and the spare text is simple enough for beginners to read on their
own.
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 B books, suitable for kindergarten readers, feature short
sentences and high-frequency words. The illustrations provide clues to
word meanings. When Level B is mastered, follow up with Level C.
