Why read it?

1 author picked Nugget and Dog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Ready-To-Read Graphic series from Simon & Schuster was specifically created for new readers learning how to navigate graphic book structure and language, roughly ages 5-8. My book is a Level Two… And if you have a reader at this level, they are sure to be hungry for more fun books.

Nugget and Dog is just one of many fun similarly leveled graphic chapter books that will tickle your young reader’s funny bone (and help them become a stronger reader). I also love that Nugget and Dog is a humorous book about a friendship. 

From Jay's list on silly early graphics readers.
