Star Chapter Books are the perfect bridge for kids moving beyond beginning readers but not yet ready for longer chapter books. With short chapters, bold two-color illustrations, and fast-paced, funny stories, these confidence-building books make reading fun and rewarding.
Dog siblings Betsy and Bones travel to Tokyo and get swept up in a whirlwind of overnight fame in this third book in the Dog Meets Dog series!
Betsy and Bones say “konnichiwa” to Tokyo! Soon after they arrive, Betsy draws the attention of the company behind Fab Crab, one of the most popular snacks in Japan. They offer her the incredible honor of being their spokesperson, which she happily accepts! Unfortunately, the demands of her new position mean she doesn’t have time to do the sightseeing she’d planned with Bones—in fact, she doesn’t have time for Bones at all. Bones is disappointed and wants Betsy to quit. Can he convince her to hang up her Fab Crab crown?
Each Star Chapter Book is 112 pages long, divided into six to eight short chapters with illustrated panels on every page to keep kids engaged from start to finish. This highly visual early chapter book format supports the transition from leveled readers to chapter books, making Star Chapter Books a perfect fit for independent reading, classroom libraries, or shared story time.
Look for more Star Chapter Books adventures to help kids grow confident and develop a love of reading, including Betsy and Bones’s trips in Framed in Paris! and On the Loose in London!.
