About this item

Funny characters, humorous pictures, and an eco-friendly message-- and a text just right for the newest kindergarten reader in this Level A story. "I like my bike. I like my car. I like my big car. I like my truck." The text in this humorous story is simple and repetitive--just right for new readers--but the pictures are wacky and imaginative. A sea lion chauffeurs a large shark, while a cactus drives a canvas-covered pickup truck, and a tiny mouse drives tractor-trailer filled with cheese. All the vehicles, except for the bicycle, get stuck in traffic, as a girl merrily rides along to her destination--a birthday party. The artwork, in addition to supporting the text and providing surface level comprehension, is chock-full of details that allow for (but don't insist upon) deeper comprehension. There are subtexts, connections, and opportunities for inference. Level A books, suitable for early kindergarten, are ideal first books for kids to read on their own. O
