K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Previously published as picture books, these beginning readers contain "slightly different text[s]." To make a pancake, Jack must cut wheat, grind grain, gather an egg, and so on. Rooster's journey to see the world is cut short when his traveling companions bail on him. Carle's striking illustrations and the approachable (though dull) texts will encourage new readers. Review covers these Ready-to-Read titles: Pancakes, Pancakes! and Rooster Is Off to See the World.
