"This leveled reader provides emergent readers with many opportunities to engage with the multiple layers of reading, including decoding, picture walk, and comprehension. The repetitive nature of the text and presence of helpful illustrations supports them in successfully decoding and reading the words on each page-spread. Additionally, readers get to discuss content beyond the words by analyzing the illustrations to draw early inferences. Lastly, it allows students to participate in basic comprehension by identifying the things Cara takes time to do, including walk, nap, and draw. This beautifully illustrated text is a part of the "I Care" series of leveled texts. These texts allow emergent readers to explore ways to function within the world. Although this is a single text within the set, the full set of readers pair both fiction and nonfiction texts for readers to have equal access to those genres at early ages. This text is a level A nonfiction text with lots of great characteristics and representation of family without all of the family presented together. While this is a great text, the inclusion of a table of contents might be a bit premature and unnecessary. Reviewer Rating: 5" -Children's Literature "This series of early readers includes topics ranging from nature walks and pet care to helping others and practicing self-care. Featuring repetitive sentence structures and sight words, the books are designed for new and developing readers. Activities and narratives are described in short, simple sentences to help build early literacy skills. Colorful illustrations support each action, making it easy for new readers to identify what is happening. Each title ends with a question encouraging readers to think more about what they have read; for instance, 'Can you think of a time you helped a friend?' A segment titled 'Did You See It?' shows three images from the text, and an index of these and other words used in the story rounds out the back matter. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries."-School Library Journal
