In this book, a girl asks her mom and her dad if she can pick a pup. In this charming beginning reader, a bi-racial family sets out to adopt a dog. Even though their daughter doesn't know it yet, mom and dad have already decided a new pet will soon be part of their family. Simple sentences like, """"I wanted to pick a pup."""" and """"I asked my dad, """"Can I pick a pup?"""" use repetition to reenforce learning. A familiar situation of a child asking both parents (and hearing them both respond with encouragement to ask the other parent) will have both kids and adults smiling in recognition. Pick a Pup is part of the Reading Stars series. Reading Star books are for kids at the very beginning of a lifetime love of reading. Each book features less than 50 words and uses repetition to build confidence.
