Shampoodle




From Sleepy Dog to Dogerella, Step into Reading is the perfect format for humorous dog tales that are fun to read and offer new readers a successful independent reading experience. This illustrative, easy-to-decode rhymed reader is no exception.

It's picture day at the dog park. But before the first photo can be taken, an exuberant pack of pups needs a bit of grooming. So they’re off to Shampoodle, the local pet salon, where the eager dogs simply cannot sit still. And when some curious cats stop by, things go from messy to mayhem. Shampoodle is perfect for animal lovers and children who are just starting to read on their own, taking their cues from lively art and bubbly, rhymed text.

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.

Praise for Shampoodle

"The Step into Reading books are colorful and bright, with humorous illustrations that hold the interest of even our most primary students. The books are perfect for our second language learners who because of age need
high interest books with controlled lower level vocabulary that look like "real books" not "baby books."--Susan Banning, Assistant Principal
