Customer Reviews

great easy reader with a message

Marvin arrives late on the first day of school . When he gets to his classroom the teacher tells him that he?s one too many. She wasn?t prepared for an extra student. Marvin thought that she didn?t like him. As the school year goes on he is having troble learning to read. He finally talks with his parents about his problem and they help him. I like the book because it opens up discussions on embarrassment and frustration. Children who are learning to read can relate to Marvin?s feelings. The will learn that if they keep trying reading will become easier to them.I would recommed this book to kids who are learning to read. It?s a part of the I Can Read Books Series. They will feel proud for themselves when they are able to read it alone.
