K-3Ready-to-Read: Annie and Snowball series.
Illustrated by
Suçie Stevenson.
Annie and cousin Henry join a book club and learn that reading can be "an outside thing" (Book Bugs Club); Annie lets her bunny Snowball sniff a map to choose a destination for an impromptu day trip with Dad (Surprise Day). Both the stories and the breezy pen-and-ink with watercolor illustrations celebrate spontaneity in a way that will please the new-reader audience. Review covers these Ready-to-Read: Annie and Snowball titles: Annie and Snowball and the Book Bugs Club and Annie and Snowball and the Surprise Day.
