Inviting her mother to visit her new class, a little kindergartener discovers that there are some things that kids are better at than parents.

A five-year-old boy, ready and eager on his first day at "the big kids' school," must calm his very worried mother.

Hannah has had it with her older sister! Tired of being bossed around, Hannah decides to run away so she will never have to see Dee Dee again. She packs her suitcase full of things she looks forward to not sharing with Dee Dee. But on her way out the door, Hannah gets a loving present that makes her rethink her plan. With its feisty characters and adorable art, this pitch-perfect portrayal of two sisters has just the right balance of sass and sweetness.

A girl follows clues that lead to Mommy! This Level D book is perfect for new readers. Where is Mommy? Here are her slippers. Here are her glasses. A girl, her mother, and their cat are snuggled up on a couch and reading a book. The girl falls asleep, and when she wakes up, Mommy is gone. Where could she be? The girl searches the house, picks up clues (including a recipe for kale and a sunhat and gardening gloves that come and go). And she figures out where Mommy is--in the garden! Suitable for late kindergarten readers, Level D books use a wider vocabulary and more complex plots with multiple scenes. They feature longer sentences and greater variety in sentence structure than levels A, B, and C. Move on to level E once Level D is mastered. The award-winning I Like to Read® 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!
