K-3Step into Reading series.
Illustrated by
Sylvie Wickstrom.
When planning a surprise picnic at a secret garden, Sara uses her trusty notebook to make a list, write a note, and draw a map. Afterward she writes about the picnic. Controlled, repetitive vocabulary will give young readers confidence, but inconsistent meter and rhyme patterns make for a clunky read. Child-friendly illustrations include handwritten pages from Sara's notebook.
