Dog looks through a hole in the wall and sees another dog. But when warthog looks, he sees something very different. This Level D book is perfect for new readers. Dog can't wait to tell Warthog, Lion, and Elephant about the other dog he saw. But when the other animals look through the hole, none of them see the same thing. They argue, because each animal is sure the others are wrong. But it turns out the hole isn't a hole at all--it's a mirror! This funny adaptation of Mark Twain's A Fable is simple enough for the youngest readers, but clever and funny enough for everyone to enjoy--and at the end, friendship prevails. The award-winning I Like to Read 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 D, for late kindergarten, features longer sentences and greater variety in sentence structure than levels A, B, and C. May include quesitons. When Level D is mastered, follow up with Level E.
