Annie and Snowball and the Cozy Nest: Ready-to-Read Level 2 (5) Paperback – Illustrated, March 9, 2010

Great stepping stone readers. Able to read with Henry and Mudge books. Annie and Snowball target a female audience. I wish Henry and Mudge and Amie and Snowball series had a next series for higher readers.

These books, especially the illustrations, are simply charming.

Nice story for the children, well written, easy read for the beginner or for the story teller. the story sends a good message.

This is a great book in the follow up series to Henry and Mudge series... our daughter loves reading them!

Cute book. Easy to read.

Thumbs up!!

Springtime is always a pleasant time and May was an especially nice month. Annie went to her cousin Henry's birthday party. Of course her bunny Snowball was sitting on the table and Henry's dog Mudge had his eye on the birthday cake. Once she was back home sitting on the porch swing enjoying the nice weather with Snowball, Annie noticed something very interesting nestled above the climbing roses. "Snowball, look . . . a nest!" Of course this was something that Henry had to come over and look at!They watched and waited to see who was building the nest bit by bit. There were "even some small bits of fur" in there. Finally they saw a little robin perched inside the nest. Annie sat on the porch swing day after day watching the robin sit on her nest. Annie's dad picked her up so she could peek inside the nest and Henry's dad did the same thing for him. There were "five blue eggs" in the nest. Everyone was very excited and could hardly wait for the eggs to hatch. They were told that "mother birds do not like fingers touching their eggs, but there was no harm in watching.This is an easy reader that is geared toward a successful reading experience. The plot of the story is fun and has just the right amount of excitement and tension to coax the young reader along to the end to find out what happens to the mother robin and her babies. The illustrations are colorful and are very appealing. This is a level two "Ready-To-Read" book that encourages independent reading. There is "varied sentence structure" and it has "paragraphs and short chapters." This book is a sure fire draw to any beginning reader!

lovely story, fun for both grown ups and the kids who are reading, love these books!
