Even the youngest readers can follow Big Bunny through the city in
this brightly illustrated Level A reader!
Here is a foot. . . . and another foot. Through windows, behind trees,
and behind buildings, Big Bunny is peeking out. More than one hundred
fifty colorful animal characters, busily walking through their city,
stop and look at the giant bunny in their midst.
What could all of these clues add up to? Why, it's Big Bunny--a huge
balloon, sailing down the street with a smile in the middle of a parade!
Beginning readers will love searching through Steve Henry's detailed
spreads for hints, looking for Big Bunny in each spread. The text
features brief, simple sentences with no more than one word changing
from page to page, making this one of the first books a child will be
able to read on their own.
For older readers, an author's note explains the inspiration behind the
story, artistic influences, and some of the unexpected treasures hiding
on the page. Bold colors and creative cutaways make this a fun read, and
there's always some new detail to discover!
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.
