How Not to Start Third Grade (Step into Reading 4)
"Back-to-School Lesson #6: Never think that starting school with your little brother could be anything but a total and complete disaster," says Will, who is looking forward to his first day of third grade. Will is also dreading his rowdy little brother Steve's first day of kindergarten at the same school. As expected, Steve's high jinks cause one upset after another, culminating in an all-school food fight. Divided into brief chapters, this Step into Reading title is well tuned to a newly confident reader's abilities. Simply constructed sentences and brisk dialogue make use of lively vocabulary and plenty of active verbs. Large color illustrations extend the mayhem with cartoonish characters, exaggerated expressions, and lots of activity. . Engberg, Gillian--This text refers to theLibrary Bindingedition.
