I Want to Be a Reader!

Mark Powers

A simple celebration of a major milestone: learning to read! It will take a lot of hard work: learning the letters, turning the pages, saying the words. But that hard work will pay off--maybe sooner than this little boy thinks! The story ends with a hopeful message to toddlers that someday, they can be readers too.
