A little boy who is not ready for sleep goes on a bedtime adventure.
Nate loves skateboarding, but Kate prefers making hats.
"I hate to skate," she tells Nate. "Do you like my hat?" Unimpressed, Nate retorts "I hate that hat." Kate’s feelings are hurt—so she ignores Nate as he falls.
Now that Nate is hurt and sad, too, his outlook has changed. "Wait, Kate," he says. "I was a brat." Kate waits, and admits she wasn’t nice either, and new possibilities open. Now Nate and Kate both like to skate—and wear hats!
Straightforward and heartfelt, Nate and Kate’s story is the perfect reminder that we may not always share each other’s interests, but we must be respectful and open-minded all the same!
An I Like to Read® book for emerging readers. Guided Reading Level D.

An I Like to Read® book for emerging readers. Guided Reading Level D.
Bunny and Red learn the value of forgiveness in this Level D book, perfect for kindergarten readers.
Bunny is excited about playing with her friends in the snow. But Red the Squirrel plays too rough—he keeps pulling mean pranks, claiming "It's just a joke!"
When his tricks backfire and his friends are the ones laughing, Red is upset. But instead of holding a grudge, Bunny invites him back into the group for cocoa and laughter. Compassion and empathy save the day in an easy-to-read story from Bruce Degen, the celebrated illustrator of The Magic School Bus series. . . And that's (s)no(w) joke!
The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors—create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
Suitable for late kindergarten readers, Level D books feature wider vocabulary, longer sentences, and greater variety in sentence structure than Levels A, B, and C. When Level D is mastered, follow up with Level E.
