Dear Parent:
Your child’s love of reading starts here!
I Can Read Books have introduced children to the joy of reading since 1957. Featuring award-winning authors and illustrators and a fabulous cast of beloved characters, I Can Read Books set the standard for beginning readers. From books your child reads with you to the first books they read alone, there are I Can Read Books for every stage of reading:
Shared Reading
Basic language, word repetition, and whimsical illustrations, ideal for sharing with your emergent reader
Beginning Reading
Short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts for children eager to read on their own
Reading with Help
Engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play for developing readers
Reading Alone
Complex plots, challenging vocabulary, and high-interest topics for the independent reader
Advanced Reading
Short paragraphs, chapters, and exciting themes for the perfect bridge to chapter books
Every child learns in a different way and at their own speed. Some read through each level in order. Others go back and forth between levels and read favorite books again and again. You can help your young reader improve and become more confident by encouraging their own interests and abilities.
A lifetime of discovery begins with the magical words, "I Can Read!"

Sarah L. Thomson is the author of Stars and Stripes: The Story of the American Flag, a Nebraska Golden Sower Award finalist; all the Wildlife Conservation Society I Can Read Books, including Amazing Tigers!, winner of an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award; and What Lincoln Said, written with "admirable simplicity" (ALA Booklist). Sarah lives in Portland, Maine.
Grade 1-3–Using simple sentences, Thomson explains the basic facts of gorilla life, including their behavior, diet, and habitat. The author devotes a lot of space to the similarities shared by these animals and humans, highlighting how gorillas are part of a family, play with their children, and communicate. The last section describes how scientists study these primates and emphasizes the destruction of their habitat and the need to protect them from harm. While the readable text is presented in large print, it is somewhat dense, often filling the pages. Also, some of the full-color photos are not very well reproduced. For example, a wonderful image of a mother and baby interacting is blurry. This book has a very specific message and will provide newly independent readers with a solid introduction.–Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City
