Reviews

[Alli Srmek · Rating 5 out of 5]

Genre: Informational
Grade level: 1-2
Unique feature: While being such an easy read, Retrievers still contains all of the same text features as any other non-fiction text: glossary, index, table of contents, detailed pictures, etc. This text is a great intro to non-fiction.

Very quick and easy book to read together, good mix of beginning words for early readers and words for parents to read as well.
