It Is a Tree - I Like to Read, Guided Reading, Level B

Funny animals play a party game that's both silly and thought-provoking. This Level B book is perfect for new readers!

It is a tree. It is a wall. It is a snake. It is a fan.

A zebra, a giraffe, a turtle, and other animals play a party game. Blindfolded, they guess what's in the room by feel alone. Could it be a wall? A rope? A fan? No. It's an elephant!

This very easy-to-read story, based upon the ancient Indian parable about the blind men and the elephant, teaches point-of-view, and reinforces the simple vocabulary with bright illustrations of the different objects the animals guess. Perfect for new readers to practice on their own!
