My Day with Dad (I Like to Read)
by Rae Crawford (Author)
Games, kites, a bike ride, and mac and cheese-it's fun to spend a day with Dad. First-graders can read this Level G story on their own! A day with Dad is a day packed with fun!
Eating too many pancakes is just the beginning. Morning rain means it's time for board games. When the sun comes back out, so do bikes and kites. Pup the dog tags along, too! Back home, the evening continues with mac and cheese, movies, and a phone call from Mom. Then Dad has one more surprise: PILLOW FIGHT!
Young readers can enjoy this simply-worded story independently, or cuddle up for some quality father-child time of their own. For early-to-mid first grade readers, Level G books feature more complex storylines than prior levels, and a wider variety of structure and punctuation. Illustrations offer support for decoding the more challenging vocabulary words introduced.
The award-winning I Like to Read(R) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!

PreS-Gr 1--A young girl spends a fun-filled, special day with her dad in this book ideal for emerging readers. The day begins with Mom, who, like her daughter, has brown skin and dark hair, dropping the child off at Dad's house. Dad, who has white skin and light brown hair, and daughter soon prepare a delicious breakfast of pancakes, which they cook together with their dog. After the meal is finished and cleaned up, they head outside, only to encounter a rainstorm. They return indoors, where they enjoy games until the weather clears. The rest of the day includes bike riding, kite flying, a macaroni-and-cheese dinner, a goodnight call to Mom, an epic pillow fight, and more fun activities. Cartoon-style illustrations provide visual clues to the accompanying simple text; for instance, on a scene depicting the family cooking breakfast, the text reads, "I mix. Dad flips. Yum! We enjoy every bite." Each spread contains one-to-three straightforward sentences filled with vocabulary building text, optimal for those learning to read independently. VERDICT This bright and colorful story is highly relatable for young readers and is a recommended purchase for early reader collections.--Olivia Gorecke
