Perfect for new readers in the first grade: a comic about a child, a parent, and the magic of a starry night. By Geisel Award-Winner Michael Emberley!
A blackout! Right in the middle of "the last" bedtime story. The child cries. It's too dark! The parent gathers stars from the sky light up the child's room. Now someone else is crying! It's the moon! The parent returns the stars to they sky, and parent and child pack up their blankets and pillows to sleep outside. New readers can practice phonics reading with the silent letters "g" and "o" in words such as too, night, light, right, and tight. Children can also read about these characters in I Did It! a Theodor Geisel Award Winner and Let's Go!, which is on the ALA Best Graphic Novels reading list. I Like to Read Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans. Filled with eye-catching art, humor, and terrific stories, these comics provide unique reading experiences for growing minds. We hope that all new readers will say, "I like to read comics!"
