Editorial Review

“An all-too-familiar scenario provides the plot for this book in the Real Kids Readers series, which blends phonics and whole language. A boy has a week to do a big school assignment, but he procrastinates. Luckily, because of snow, school is canceled on the date his assignment is due so he gets a reprieve. Color photographs against bright, white backgrounds lend a crisp look and provide visual clues to help decipher the text. Phonic guidelines are included for parents.”
