Ranger Rick: I Wish I Was an Orca

(4) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Each volume asks developing readers if they would want to become the titular animal. An unusually substantive easy-reader text, accompanied by relevant full-bleed photos, details the animal's habits, daily life, and parenting behaviors. Hokey "Ranger Rick" dialogue bubbles encourage readers to make meaningless personal connections (in Orca: "Would you have fun living in a pod?"). Additional facts and an activity are appended. Glos. Review covers these I Can Read Book titles: Ranger Rick: I Wish I Was a Gorilla, Ranger Rick: I Wish I Was a Lion, and Ranger Rick: I Wish I Was an Orca.
