When Will I Read?

When Will I Read? by Cohen, Miriam. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780688840730.

Jim had waited all his life. But still he could not read. "It will happen, " said the teacher. "It will happen when you are ready." But Jim was ready now. Some of the children in the class could read. Some simply remembered what was under each picture. Jim knew what all the signs in the classroom said, but that was not reading. Then one day the sign on the hamsters cage said something different! Children who have met Jim, Paul, Anna Maria, and the others in previous books will welcome them back in this universal -- and triumphant -- story, with its loving pictures of classroom life.
