(3) K-3 Bank Street Ready-to-Read series. For young readers, 'Cats' is a simple rhyming list of cats and cat characteristics. Newsom's illustrations aren't consistent but will appeal to young cat lovers. 'Frog', which is targeted at a slightly older early-reader audience, tells the story of Allie and the show-and-tell frog she thinks she's lost as it hops and hides throughout the playful illustrations.
