What is that?
It is fast.
It is gone.

Dog is woken up from a nap by a surprising new visitor-Rat! But Dog soon realizes that Rat is more like him than he thought. They both love to play! Easy-to-read text and fun pictures follow Dog and Rat becoming fast friends. Perfect for kindergarteners and first graders to read on their own.

A companion to his 2018 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book, I See a Cat, Paul Mesiel brings young readers a new adventure with beloved Dog and a new pet friend.

This book has been officially leveled by using the F & P Text Level Gradient(TM) Leveling System.

For readers who have mastered basic sight words, Level C books feature slightly longer sentences and a wider range of high-frequency words than Level B books. Level C books are suitable for mid-to-late kindergarten readers. When Level C is mastered, follow up with Level D.

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 again and again with their parents, teachers or on their own!
