All Stuck Up

By Linda Hayward

Book Overview

A retelling of Uncle Remus's classic tale of Brer Rabbit written for emergent readers! Brer Fox is always trying to catch Brer Rabbit. But Brer Rabbit is smart! Will he escape from a sticky trap set by that wily fox? Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story. "About fifty sentences, with one or two per gracefully color-cartooned page, this tale is reduced to the most basic motifs, but it does respect the ones it keeps. It will be a book to hand to kids who clamor for a version they can read for themselves."-- Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.

Customer Reviews

A hit for my beginning reader!

All Stuck up is a retelling of the old classic, the Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch story. I already knew that this is a great story, so one of the most important questions for me was whether or not my daughter could read this book. (As far as her reading level, she's finished the Animal Antics series by Nina Gaylord up to Level 3.) Short answer is, no, my daughter couldn't read this book all by herself. She stumbled over words like caught, mighty, and sure. Here's an excerpt from the book so you can judge the difficulty level: By and by Brer Rabbit comes along. "Howdy, Mr. Boy!" he calls. "Nice day, isn't it?" Mr Boy doesn't answer. However, my daughter could read this book with some help from an adult. And more importantly, she WANTS to read this book, especially because Brer Rabbit is so tricky. She's asked to read this book to us five times now. This book was a hit in our family. We enjoyed the illustrations, and the reading level was appropriate for us. We give it two thumbs up!
