Can they keep it safe from Snake? This fun photographic easy-to-read story features the long "a" vowel sound.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'Kate and Nate bake a cake for Grandpa Jake.'<br /> <br /> Kate and Nate are snails, three-dimensional characters crafted out of wool and adorned with real shells on their backs. When they see a fabric snake, they are very scared and try to evade him with one of the modes of transportation available--trains, planes, and boats. (Little do they know that he is Grandpa Jake's 'great mate.') A real wooded area serves as backdrop; it almost seems as if the photos are movie stills, but the scenes have been specifically constructed for this volume, one of a growing series with one simple aim: to teach phonics by introducing one sound at a time. This volume introduces the long 'a' with commonplace words like 'place, ' 'plate, ' 'sail, ' and 'trail.' The pictures are intriguing and use many different kinds of materials and objects, including a real lit candle atop the cake, a toy wooden rolling pin, and a graceful toy boat with a beautiful sail with a very handsome snail design. <strong>Young readers will pore over the pages</strong>, perhaps trying to figure out how they might create such scenes. In the meantime, they will probably absorb the lesson and learn some decoding skills. Two story-starter ideas round out the volume. Four other titles publish simultaneously: <em>Blues for Unicorn</em>, <em>Go Home, Goat</em>, <em>Greedy Beetle</em>, and <em>Lion Spies a Tiger</em>.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br /></p>-- "Journal" (1/10/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Before writing and illustrating kid-favorite easy-to-reads like Hot Dog, multi-talented Molly Coxe taught preschool and high school English.
