K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Jane Manning.
Sam the lamb is stuck right in the middle of a sneeze ("I've got the ahhh / but not the choo"). The other farm animals join forces, and after much nose-tickling, pepper-sprinkling, and dust-stirring, Sam finally finishes his sneeze. Week's text is lively and fast paced, incorporating repetition (a helpful aid to beginning independent readers) and suspense-heightening page turns; lighthearted watercolors add to the humor.
