Cat Sees Snow (Ready-To-Read: Ready-To Go!)

by Laura Gehl (Author) Fred Blunt (Illustrator)

From Laura Gehl, author One Big Pair of Underwear and Goat Wants to Eat, comes another side-splitting Ready-to-Go! Ready-to-Read about three animal friends on their first snow day!

Cat sees snow. Dog cannot blow the snow. Pig is slow in the snow. Can they still have fun in the snow? Perfect for kids at the beginning of their reading journeys, Cat Sees Snow was written for children who have learned the alphabet and are ready to start reading! And what better way to get kids excited than with a hilarious story with words they can read on their own? Each Ready-to-Go! Ready-to-Read includes a note to parents explaining what their child can expect, a guide at the beginning for readers to become familiar with the words they will encounter in the story, and reading comprehension questions at the end.

Each Ready-to-Go! story contains about 100 words and features sight words, rhyming words, and repetition to help children reinforce their new reading skills. In this book, readers will learn six sight words and six words from one word family.

PreS-Gr 1--Cat, Dog, and Pig have a very deep problem--deep snow, that is! They all need to figure out how to get through the cold, wet stuff. Cat and Dog have the same ideas, but different methods of execution. Pig, however, takes advantage of an unexpected opportunity and slides through the snow and away from Cat and Dog's snowball fight! This beginning reader is best suited for kids just starting their reading journey. Familiar animals and activities help solidify sight words through repetitive sounds such as snow, mow, and blow. Well-balanced illustrations offer fairly successful contextual support, although in one picture of Cat, his face looks angry, when he's supposed to be blowing instead. Eye-catching colors and expressive line drawings create an engaging setting. The illustrations are also approachable for young artists who may want to try their own hand at drawing Cat, Dog, and Pig. VERDICT A first purchase for beginning reader collections. Recommend this title to brand-new readers and their caretakers.--Kate Davis
