(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joung Un Kim. Sid the snake panics when he begins to molt, until his mother explains he's not sick but growing. He then happily shows off his new rattle to his friends. Though the book is unnecessarily split into two chapters, the text's word repetition will encourage new readers, while bright pastel illustrations will keep them engaged. Superfluous reading questions and activities are appended.
