The Summer Nick Taught His Cats to Read

32 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | July, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4814-3569-7 $17.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4814-3570-3
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kate Berube. It's difficult at first, but Nick persists until he manages to teach his cat Verne to read. However, his other cat, Stevenson, who looks grumpy in the expressive illustrations, continues to resist--until Stevenson's pirate drawings are discovered and turned into a story. There's humor for adults and children alike in this enjoyable book about reading and the imaginative play it can inspire.
