Anna thinks the boy in the cowboy hat looks silly--but he's the only one who can save the day in this Guided Reading Level F story.
It's a beautiful day Anna and her toy dog, Toto, are all set to visit the beach, where the girl will teach her pup to swim. Toto is a quick learner, and Anna is having fun--until a wave pushes the floating toy far out into the ocean. No one knows how to save Toto--except for the boy in the cowboy hat, who leaps into action to lasso the wayward dog Maybe he's not so silly after all.This richly-illustrated story about friendship and first impressions is perfect for young readers just beginning to tackle more complex sentence structures. The bright, charming artwork adds humorous detail--from Toto's tiny wheels to the Cowboy's aura of mystery--and helps support understanding of the text. The award-winning I Like to Read(R) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own Level F books, for early first graders, feature longer, more varied sentences than Level E. Level F books encourage kids to decode new multi-syllable words in addition to recognizing sight words. Stories are more complex, and illustrations provide support and additional detail. When Level F is mastered, follow up with Level G.
