Did You See Chip? (Green Light Readers Level 2)

as expected

Good

This story is about a young Asian girl named Kim, her dad and her dog. They had just moved from the country to the city. Kim has not met any new friends. But that is about to change when Kim and her dad decide to take Chip for a walk. Before Kim can attach the leash Chip is off and running. While looking for Chip Kim makes friends with the hot dog man, a woman park worker and Mr. Sanchez.This book also has a Think about it page where they ask 4 questions about the book. Also included in the book is a Make a friend paper plate art project. And on the very last page is about the Green Light Reader series and 5 tips to help your child become a great reader.This book says that it is for ages 5 - 7 and for 1st and 2nd grade. It also mentions it is a Guided Reading Level: I - J and Reading Recovery Level 16.

OK--I enjoyed the book (as did the kids at our school) and the concept behind it is enjoyable but we did have a slight quibble with it.When a dog in a new place runs away, Kim and her father set out to find him. Along the way they encounter several new friends who help them to look for the dog. Part of the problem was, all of the friends that are found are adults. Even when there is a kid at the hotdog stand, he doesn't come along to help find the dog, only the hot dog man does. And the park worker just kind of leaves her job?Is this perhaps because of stranger danger?All in all, an OK book but it could have been better.

Kim is new to the neighborhood and misses her old home. She and her dad decide to take their dog Chip for a walk to see if that will cheer Kim up. On the walk Chip runs away. Kim is so sad. While looking for her dog she meets lots of new neighbors and they all become friends.The book was quick and easy to read. Young readers will enjoy the cute illustrations. This is also a great story for kids who enjoy reading about dogs.I would recommend this book to kids 5-8. It is part of the "Green Light Reader" series. It also included fun activities and questions to ask after reading.
