Richard Scarry's Great Big Schoolhouse Readers series.
Illustrated by
Huck Scarry.
Written by Erica Farber. In Hat (level 1), the wind blows Lowly Worm's hat away, leading him and his friends on a wild chase. Campout (level 3) tells about a backyard camping adventure during which the animal friends have a scare about a ghost. Full of slapstick humor, the lively illustrations (in Richard Scarry's style) expand on the texts, both with vocabulary appropriate for its easy-reader level. Review covers the following Richard Scarry's Great Big Schoolhouse Readers titles: Get that Hat! and Kooky Campout.
