From Children's Poet Laureate Jack Prelutsky and illustrator Yossi Abolafia, My Parents Think I'm Sleeping is the perfect book to get young readers excited about bedtime. This Level 3 I Can Read book is a funny collection of poems about a boy who should be sleeping, but manages to find more than just storybooks and his model rocket kit to keep him awake. From reading under the covers to watching shadows dance on the wall, these fourteen funny and spooky nighttime poems show that a child's life begins at bedtime! Review: Excellent - This is a beautiful book that my 6yo son really enjoyed. New words and metaphors are something to discuss while reading and afterwards. The style is more challenging than usual and I appreciate that, because most books for young readers descend to cognitive level of toddlers and this book is a welcome exception. Review: A lovely read - My daughter loves this book...I have recommend it to several parents who have also said that it has been a hit with their young readers. Ideal for the emerging reader. Poems are funny and imaginative.

Not good for bedtime!
This series of books is great to encourage children to read on their own. This is first book that my son wanted to read in bed on his own - and 20 minutes later he was in tears having been scared by some of the stories. Stories of eating chocolate cake, and noises of rain in the night are great - but I'm not so sure that stories of wolves watching you while you sleep, monsters under your bed, and dark shadows in the corner of your room waiting to get you aren't appropriate for this reading level and the likely age of the child. The rest of the series is great - but this one isn't!

Rhymes are accessible and allow for analysis
This is a collection of poems that span one page or several. With apt illustrations, there is great care placed into every poem and page. I can use this book to teach advanced English, or basic English. Thus, it is highly versatile. and useful.

Wie im wirklichen Leben !
Dieses kleine Büchlein aus der Reihe "I can read" ist eine Geschichte, fast wie aus dem richtigen Leben. Mal abgesehen davon, dass im richtigen Leben vieles poesieloser geschieht. Mir hat es gefallen. Ein einfaches, gut verständliches Englisch, das man auch selbst parallel auf Deutsch oder in einer anderen, eigenen Sprache vorlesen und erzählen kann. Erlebnisse, die jeder Erwachsene selbst als Kind getan hat, wie etwas Lesen unter der Bettdecke mit Taschenlampe; Erfahrungen mit Angst, wie Geräusche im Dunkeln, Schatten an der Wand; oder einfach die Fantasie des Schäfchen, sorry: Wolkenzählens, die ja vielleicht auch als Wolfsrudel interessanter zu betrachten sind. Wie gesagt, ein wundervolles Buch für den Elementarbereich und das Erstlesealter. Topp und wieder einmal voll empfehlenswert !!!
