Overview

Sam has the best seat in second grade--right next to George Washington, the class pet! Sam brings his hamster buddy on the class field trip to the science museum...but disaster strikes when George jumps from Sam's pocket into the museum's Hamster Habitat. ""Carter's expressive watercolor illustrations help bring the kids in room 75 and their furry pet to life,"" commented Kirkus. The Best Seat in Second Grade is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

Reviews

""Carter has an energetic line; her watercolor and gouache figures fairly dance off the page."" -- Kirkus Reviews (for MY HIPPIE GRANDMOTHER) ""Wacky, off-kilter illustrations serve this humorous tale well."" -- School Library Journal (for SLITHERY JAKE)


In an unusual twist on the school field trip theme, a second-grade boy named Sam manages to take the class hamster along on a visit to the science museum. The hamster, George Washington by name, has the distinguishing trait of frequent sneezing, which proves critically important when George Washington is dropped into the museum's hamster display and must be retrieved. Lots of humorous details add to this mid-level easy reader's appeal, and the story will be enjoyed by newly independent readers as well as serving as a read-aloud in any classroom (or home) with a hamster as a pet. Carter's expressive watercolor illustrations help bring the kids in room 75 and their furry pet to life. (Easy reader. 5-8) (Kirkus Reviews)
