About this title

Synopsis

Do you have a birthday coming up? Raymond does and he can't wait! This Step 2 early reader captures all the excitement and anticipation that children experience in the lead-up to their special day!

Raymond likes to do everything fast! It's almost his birthday and he wants time to fly! He plays outside. He helps Papa wash the car. He even goes to bed early, but his birthday can't come soon enough! Maybe his friend Roxy can help him enjoy the wait...and celebrate, too! This sequel to Ready? Set. Raymond (which marked its 20th Anniversary in 2022!) will delight young readers who will definitely be able to relate.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are perfect for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
