Since 2011, Dixie has been a fun dog friend in the book world for my little reader. Now Dixie returns in her eighth early reader for the best day ever! Full of appropriate words for a Level 1 reader in simple sentences Dixie and Emma experience a snow day as Emma is trying to come up with a topic for a poem on the best day ever. I'm glad as a parent and teacher for the influence of finding inspiration, but for another boost I wish that even if only in the illustrations that Emma's poem had made it into the book rather than in just a mention that she wrote one.

This Dixie early reader is illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers and not Sarah McConnell. I undecided as to which illustrator I prefer, but it always confuses me at first going from one to another.

For other recommendations about books written at a Guided Reading Level J, check out different individual titles from series such as Young Amelia Bedelia, Pony Scouts, Riff Raff, Fancy Nancy, and Little Bear. You can see my ever growing list on Goodreads.
