     What about now?

     Horse is so excited for the seed he planted to grow, he can't help asking Buggy a million questions. But with a little sunshine, water, and patience, Horse and Buggy are in for a surprise when their tiny seed finally grows. . . into a gigantic squash! Ethan Long delivers a perfect punchline for emergent readers in this Horse & Buggy tale.

     Don't miss this hilarious duo's other adventures in Dance, Dance, Dance! and Horse & Buggy Paint It Out!

     This book has been officially leveled by using the F&P Text Level Gradient(TM) Leveling System.

     The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!

     For early-to-mid first grade readers, Level G books feature more complex storylines than prior levels, and a wider variety of structure and punctuation. Illustrations offer support for decoding the more challenging vocabulary words introduced.
