Jack Prelutsky's poems are fun and Marilyn Hafner illustrations make the perfect companion. These might not be the best memorization poems, but they are excellent for budding readers in their independence. I enjoyed [b:It's Valentine's Day|6541905|It's Valentine's Day|Jack Prelutsky|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1359980686s/6541905.jpg|1417945] nearly as much as It's Christmas!.

As we have started to gather more and more I Can Read, leveled readers I have been anxious to see what I would find in a Level 3 "Reading Alone" with "complex plots for confident readers". My first experience is absolutely a positive one!

Every few pages has a cute and quaint poem filled with Christmas cheer that is sure to provide a poem for every reader. Using traditions for Christmas, both Santa and Jesus included in various ones as well as baking festivities, snow covered or no sleds involved, city or country and suburb there is a bit of it all.

14 sweet, silly, funny poems for newly independent readers. Text copyright 1983. Ages 4 to 8, Grades K to 3 from Greenwillow Books.
