A Book for Ted

Rose and her son, Ted, like to read books. Rose wants to buy a book for Ted. She goes to the bookstore.

​

Rose asks Jane, the store clerk, “What is a good book for my son? He turns two on Friday.”

​

Jane says, “Look for books with bright pictures. Look for books with only a few words on each page. Choose books about things your child likes.”

​

Rose replies, “Ted likes trucks.” Jane brings Rose to the children’s books. Jane finds a blue and red book with lots of trucks in it. It has few words on the pages.

​

Ted will like this book. Rose buys this book for him.
