A group of squirrels is trying to figure out what a stop sign says. One of the squirrels excuses himself. Suddenly a squirrel wearing a mask and underpants appears and suggests, "Why not read it?"! It is the Mystery Reader! He proceeds to help them read the word.
Humor abounds in this book. Multiple stories and many "Acorn-y Jokes" are included. Mr. Willems has even drawn "emote-acorns" on the bottom of some pages to reveal the big feelings squirrels are having on that particular page!
The only section beginning or struggling readers may have difficulty reading is the one where the history of writing is explained. The adult will probably have to read that section aloud. But by that time in the book, the reader may need a break.
*Highly recommend (My fourth grader even enjoyed reading this book. I think I spied my seventh grader reading it too!).
Perfect for beginning readers or struggling readers.
-Borrowed from the library.
