This is a Ready-to-read series Pre-Level  1 book. It’s a fantastic book for new readers and encourages little ones to pursue reading thanks to the use of familiar words and phrases that are repeated several times through the book. The sentences are very simple too!

Freddie and Flossie are at the beach with Snap their energetic dog. They splash about in the waves, play tag, build sand castles until it’s time to go.

By the way, the illustrations explain what the text of the story skips out.

Snap helps.

Oh no!
