A sweet and simple early reader in rhyme—perfect for kids working on independent reading skills, phonological awareness, and decoding.

Lion spies Rabbit reading a book. Rabbit spies Lion spying on Rabbit. Lion gives chase… Rabbit runs away… and it's off to the races! 

Lion and Rabbit chase each other through a series of underground tunnels. Sliding, wiggling, and hopping… gliding, giggling, and stopping… when Lion finally catches up with Rabbit. Is Rabbit going to be Lion’s lunch? Or does Lion have something else in mind? 

Short, rhyming sentences paired with cozy art and adorable animal characters make this the perfect “first book” for emerging readers. Aligns with the Science of Reading curriculum and its emphasis on phonological awareness. 

With fun stories and great pictures, new readers will say . . . “I like to read!” Created by award-winning-artists and talented newcomers and tested by educational experts, I Like to Read® books help develop vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension that lead to reading success.
Mike Ciccotello is the author-illustrator of Twins, Beach Toys vs. School Supplies, and Leonard Builds a Haunted House. He has also illustrated three of Bridge Heos’s nonfiction books for Crown/PRH, as well as other books for children.
