Description
Book SynopsisFor fans of You Read to Me, I'll Read to You, this deslightful story builds confidence and includes repetition for emerging readers and is written by early childhood specialist and former Romper Room teacher "Miss Karen" Robbins.
Trade ReviewA well-structured and deceptively simple dose of encouragement for emerging readers. -- Kirkus Reviews
Unlike other, wordier, “you read—I read” stories, this one is sweet and super short, leaving no excuse to forgo a quick, shared story. —Lisa Taylor, Florida State College, Jacksonville -- School Library Journal
I Think I Can is an easy-to-follow children's picturebook designed especially to be read aloud with two people. Each two-page spread shows the aardvark speaking on the left in blue text, and the mouse speaking on the right in black text. The simple dialogue between an aardvark and a mouse uses brief sentences with repetition, the better to build confidence in the youngest of beginning readers."'Yes. I think I can sing.' / 'What do you think you can sing?' / 'I think I can sing a song.' / 'You think you can sing a song?'" A superb tool to encourage new readers, I Think I Can is highly recommended for family, elementary school, and public library picturebook collections. -- Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch
