(3) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Mike Reed. Twenty-three brief poems reveal the school experiences from a variety of viewpoints. In "Good Morning," a school building anticipates the arrival of students; "Jack's Pencil" wants release from the dark confines of a desk; a cafeteria hot dog waits so long to be eaten it becomes a "Cold Dog on a Tray." The repetitive language and comic perspective will draw beginning readers in, as will the cheerful illustrations.
