This heartfelt story is just right for all children getting ready for
first grade and other big early steps!
On the first day of first grade, Sam is excited to share his news with
the class. While some kids report losing a tooth or going to soccer
camp, Sam tells the class that his elephant had a baby. "No way!" cry
his classmates. "No one has an elephant." Will Sam be able to convince
his classmates that he's telling the truth?
First graders and first graders to be will root for Sam, who is so
excited to share his news that he can't sit still and nearly falls off
his chair. First graders will relate, and their parents, caregivers, and
teachers will smile in fond recognition.
The team that wrote and illustrated the I Can Read favorites The Best
Chef in Second Grade and The Best Seat in Second Grade knows how to
create a gentle, believable, sweet story that helps kids explore their
emotions and reflect on their own experiences.
The Best Seat in First Grade is a Level One I Can Read book, which
means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and
sentences. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the short
sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books
support success for children eager to start reading on their own.
