Max outwits a bully and makes a new friend in this Level F book,
perfect for first-grade readers.
Big Bob is a bully who takes Max's lunch every day. Max's friends try to
help him deal with it. Don't look at him, says one friend-- but Big Bob
takes Max's sandwich anyway. Give him a gift, suggests another friend.
Max gives Big Bob a lemon ice, but the bully doesn't like lemon-- so he
squashes it on Max's head.
Clever Max figures out a way to outwit Big Bob, and starts bringing
lemon-flavored lunches. And once his lunches are safe, Max reaches out
to Big Bob in friendship. Soon all of the children enjoy lunch together!
This easy-to-read story includes extra material for both kids and adults
on dealing with bullies-- a list of Do's and Don'ts for young readers,
and a list of anti-bullying resources for grown-ups.
This book has been officially leveled by using the F&P Text Level
Gradient(TM) Leveling System.
The award-winning I Like to Read series features 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 again and again with their parents, teachers or on their
own!
Level F books, for early first graders, feature longer, more varied
sentences than Level E. Level F books encourage kids to decode new
multi-syllable words in addition to recognizing sight words. Stories are
more complex, and illustrations provide support and additional detail.
When Level F is mastered, follow up with Level G.
