Ah-choo Book

A little girl with a cold spends the day in bed, counting the different things she does.

Deborah Zink - Children's Literature

Staying home in bed with a cold might be an unpleasant event, but there are certain things a kid can count on. In this story, a little girl can count—from one to ten—her bowls of soup, books to read, puzzles to sort, and hugs from mom and dad. Using simple rhyming sentences, new readers go through an entire sick-day routine. All of the book's vocabulary is introduced on the first page of the story to help beginners feel more comfortable. Part the "My First Reader" series, the story is told in soft pastels that make the sick room very comfy and inviting. A wonderful choice for reinforcing new reading skills at home. 2005, Children's Press/Scholastic, Ages 4 to 7.
