Will he get into worse trouble, or can he maybe make a new friend? This book is a perfect follow-up to How to Start Kindergarten and a great choice for any kid getting ready to go back to school.

Step 2 readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are perfect for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
