PreS-Gr. 1. “‘Pup was stuck / in weeds and muck.’ The sounds of the yucky words and the unforced rhyme are as much fun as the mischief and mayhem in this Level 1 reader in the Kids Can Read series. ... There is a real story, too, not just a situation; at the end, the pup makes a messy feast with a bag of grain, which pleases everyone in the barnyard-except, perhaps, the farmer.

Great fun for beginning readers.
