their own home. This book has large font and short, simple sentences with sight words and words that beginning readers will be able to sound out. The fast-paced action in the story keeps readers interested and engaged, wondering how Little Critter is going to get his father out of the basement. The text is accompanied by vibrantly-colored, exquisitely detailed illustrations that not only help to convey what is in the text, but also provide young readers with much to look at when they take a break from reading. White space around the illustrations and text also make this book appropriate for beginning readers by providing space for them to rest their eyes.

Not only is it appropriate for beginning readers, but it could also make a read-aloud book for storytime. Show Less
