Read & Bloom chapter books offer high interest, character driven stories for newly independent readers that feature full-color illustrations throughout and will transition kids from leveled readers to a lifetime love of reading...Introducing Agnes and Clarabelle--two best friends who share their favorite activities for each season, from collecting chestnuts in winter, to celebrating Clarabelle's birthday in spring, to spending a day at the beach in the summer, to buying new sneakers in the fall. Although this pig and chicken combo might seem unusual, Agnes and Clarabelle know each other so well that they can deal with any challenge that comes their way. It doesn't matter the activity as long as these best friends do it together!
