K-3Urgency Emergency! series.
New readers are in for a treat with these British imports. Both are set in an emergency room where Doctor Glenda (a dog) and Nurse Percy (a rooster) assist their nursery-rhyme- and fairy-tale-character patients. Muted colors and droll cartoon-style illustrations keep the action light and to the point. Limited, easy-to-decode vocabulary in a large typeface will support emerging readers. Review covers these Urgency Emergency! titles: Big Bad Wolf and Itsy Bitsy Spider.
