Anna thinks the boy in the cowboy hat looks silly--but he's the only
one who can save the day in this Guided Reading Level F story.
It's a beautiful day! Anna and her toy dog, Toto, are all set to visit
the beach, where the girl will teach her pup to swim. Toto is a quick
learner, and Anna is having fun--until a wave pushes the floating toy
far out into the ocean.
No one knows how to save Toto--except for the boy in the cowboy hat, who
leaps into action to lasso the wayward dog! Maybe he's not so silly
after all.
This richly-illustrated story about friendship and first impressions is
perfect for young readers just beginning to tackle more complex sentence
structures. The bright, charming artwork adds humorous detail--from
Toto's tiny wheels to the Cowboy's aura of mystery--and helps support
understanding of the text.
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 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.
