Each time Bill makes a mistake, the determined boy vows that next time will be perfect. He follows his mother's advice to the letter, which brings comic but disastrous results. Then one day they both learn that even if Bill lacks common sense, his good heart more than makes up for it. Humor and warmth make this a delightful read-aloud.
EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Silly Bill tries his best to follow his mother's advice, but the good-hearted boy's literal interpretations make for some goofy mistakes-and one very special friendship. A Bank Street Ready-to-Read book.
FROM AMERICA'S MOST TRUSTED NAME IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
More than seventy years of educational research and innovative teaching have given the Bank Street College of Education the reputation as America's most trusted name in early childhood education.
Because no two children are exactly alike in their development, we have designed the Bank Street Ready-to-Read series in three levels to accommodate the individual stages of reading readiness of children ages four through eight.
. Level 1: GETTING READY TO READ- (PRE-K to GRADE 1) Books are perfect for reading aloud with children who are getting ready to read or are just beginning to read words or phrases.
. Level 2: READING TOGETHER-(GRADES 1 to 3) Books are written especiallly for children who are on their way to reading independently but who may need help.
. Level 3: I CAN READ IT MYSELF-(GRADES 2 to 3) Books are designed for children able to read on their own. They also can be enjoyed as read-alouds.
