Ready, Set, Go! (I Can Read Books: Level 1)
Is bigger better?
Sasha is a little dog. Her big cousin, Oliver, and his even bigger friend, Juliet, like to have contests to see who is the best. But Sasha doesn't care who's bigger, or better -- she just wants to play!

PreSchool-Grade 1-A slight story with a familiar theme. Oliver is a big dog who has no interest in playing with his cousin Sasha, except to point out how much bigger and better he is at doing things. While waiting for his friend Juliet, Oliver and Sasha have a snowman-building contest and a snowball fight. Oliver's snowman is outstanding, while Sasha's is quite ordinary. Clearly, Oliver is superior. The tables are turned, however, when Juliet arrives on the scene and outdoes him on every score. It is little Sasha, though, who proves her worth when she excels at ice skating. The watercolor illustrations are well executed but not noteworthy. The plot is mildly entertaining but the fact that Sasha is not considered worthy of attention or friendship until she accomplishes a heroic deed is a trite and overused theme. A marginal purchase.
