by Paul Meisel (Author)
A dog explores the night and finds a bat, the moon, and his favorite boy! From two-time Theodor Seuss Geisel Honoree Paul Meisel, kindergarteners can read this Level A book on their own.
I see a bat.
I see stars.
I see the moon.
Easy-to-read text and fun pictures follow a dog through the nighttime. Sitting inside his house by his empty bowl, the dog watchesthe nightly sights outside until he falls asleep. When morning comes, his favorite boy comes to fill his empty bowl! A companion to his 2018 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book, I See a Cat, Paul Mesiel brings young readers a sleepy adventure they can read all on their own.
This book has been officially leveled by using the F & P Text Level Gradient(TM) Leveling System.

PreS-Gr 2--A charming addition to the "I Like to Read" series. Meisel continues the adventures of the curious dog from his book I See a Cat. This time, the dog watches out the window as the sun goes down and the bats come out. It's not until the moon is out that the dog realizes the food bowl is empty; but by then, his beloved boy is fast asleep. Simple, three-word sentences and structured repetition are perfect for kids learning to read. The colorful pictures effectively illustrate each sentence, helping guide new readers as they piece words together. For a book with few words, Meisel still manages to convey warmth and gentle humor with this simple but engaging story for new readers. VERDICT Perfect for all early reader collections.--Savannah Kitchens
