You Are the Man, Charlie Brown.

KICK THE FOOTBALL, CHARLIE BROWN is a level 2 Ready-to-Read book. The book is written towards younger readers who are just starting to read more complex stories, learning different sentence structures, how to form paragraphs, and what a chapter is. The words in the story aren't incredibly complex, but instead of the type of repition that is found in the Ready-to-Read Pre-Level 1 and Level 1 books, the story follows a type of constructionist approach and builds on the words and phrases children already know to introduce new words, phrases, and forms. This story is based off of the Charles Schulz' famous PEANUTS strip. Judy Katschke's text and Nick & Peter LoBianco's illustrations remain true to the spirit and intent of PEANUTS. In this particular story, Charlie Brown is once again attempting to kick the football away from Lucy who always pulls it away at the last moment. Time and time again he attempts and fails. At the end good old Chuck appears to have learned a lesson, but so do the rest of his friends.
