I See

Explore the world with this Level B book, just right for first-time readers

I see an ant. I see a snail. I see a butterfly.

Two brothers exploring the attic find a magnifying glass, and set out to see what they can see

Out in the backyard, they get a close-up look at butterflies, bugs, and snails, and a nest full of eggs. . . . which is hatching into a nest of baby birds

Joe Cepeda's high-energy artwork helps tell the story, with bright depictions of the everyday wonders the boys encounter. I See is a companion book to Joe Cepeda's other I Like to Read books, Up (a Guided Reading Level B book) and I Dig (Guided Reading Level C).

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 B readers feature short sentences with high-frequency words, for kindergarten readers who've mastered Level A and are ready to build more fluency. The illustrations provide clues to word meanings.
