K-3Ready-to-Read: Robin Hill School series.
Illustrated by
Mike Gordon.
In One Hundred, a cold forces Hannah to miss the one-hundredth-day-of-school party, so she helps her class celebrate the one hundred and first day. In Valentines, Neil claims he doesn't want any frilly, pink valentines but then feels conflicted when his class can talk of nothing else. Animation-type drawings add a touch of whimsy to texts that feature repetition, simple sentences, and familiar words and phrases. [Review covers these Ready-to-Read titles: One Hundred Days (Plus One) and Too Many Valentines.]
