Bear likes going to the beach, but Chipmunk says Not me! in this
Guided Reading Level D story, perfect for beginning readers.
Summer is here, and Bear and Chipmunk are headed to the beach. Bear
likes the sun, and the sand, and swimming. But Chipmunk doesn't. The sun
is too bright, the waves are so big, and the big fish are scary when
you're so small!
Full of humor, Valeri Gorbachev's colorful illustrations add detail and
help support understanding of the text--and they're sure to make young
readers laugh, as Bear floats serenely past Chipmunk, who's stuck
upside-down in a float.
Why did you come? asks Bear finally, as Chipmunk tries to help collect
their things. I came to be with you, replies Chipmunk. Sometimes it
doesn't matter what you're doing--as long as you're with your friends!
Bear and Chipmunk enjoy winter weather, too, in Me Too!, another I
Like to Read(R) book.
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!
Suitable for late kindergarten readers, Level D books feature wider
vocabulary, longer sentences, and greater variety in sentence structure
than levels A, B, and C. When Level D is mastered, follow up with Level
E.
