In 1957, Harper published its first I Can Read title, Little Bear, written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Large type, simple vocabulary, chapter-like divisions, and decorative pictures made Little Bear perfect for emerging readers—they could read the story comfortably and not feel overwhelmed by the text. Following suit came such classics as Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia series, Lillian Hoban's books about Arthur the monkey, and Syd Hoff's popular Danny and the Dinosaur. Many books in this series are special in the depth of emotion evoked - Little Bear, the Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel, and Daniel's Duck by Clyde Bulla, to name a few - and all are enjoyed by children of all ages. Preschool - Grade 1.

October 11, 2009: My son loves this book. He can read most of it independently and chose this as the book to donate to his classroom. He likes using different voices for the different characters, and it's fun for him to see Morris learning the same things he's learning.

a day and about half way through she told me she was going to read more and by the time we were almost done she was reading 4-6 pages because shewanted to and not because she had to..
