Quite a nice little book

This book is part of the Beginning-to-Read series, a series of books designed to help the beginning reader. The words are all short, mostly one syllable, and combine into simple sentences. As for the book itself, it is quite colorfully illustrated, and the story quite entertaining. It is the story of a beloved stuffed cat who takes a nighttime to go on a learning adventure in the outdoors. This is quite a nice little book, and a very good resource. I highly recommend it.
