This is a "Level 1" reader which means simpler sentences, easy vocabulary, and word repetition for children starting to read.

The beginning of the book is a note for parents on ways to support your beginning reader. The back has a list of story words (lizard, pet, dog, cat, fish, little) and a total word count of 95.
