To help children learn to read and to love learning, the author chose the entrancing world of animals. Some of the animals are common, some are unusual, some are exotic, and some are extinct dinosaurs. Children love challenges-to play hide and seek, to put things together, to see how things work. In Jules Can Read, Part 1: Words, they see how letters make words. They draw out meanings from words and settings. They begin an inspiring journey into children's literature.
