(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by Wayne Anderson. Three short episodes focus on Raymond, a young African-American boy, as he rushes through a day ("Raymond slows down--but not for long!"), makes a new friend ("'Making friends takes time,' Papa says"), and wins a race with his new sneakers. Simple, familiar problems combined with clear and repetitive language make this an attractive choice for new readers. The accompanying illustrations are rather dim.
