Young Cam Jansen



Title: Young Cam Jansen and the Library Mystery
Author: David A. Adler
Illustrator: Susanna Natti
Ages: 4-6; or Reading Level 2
Rating: 4/5

Plot: Mr. Jansen, Cam and Eric stop by the library on their way to the supermarket to check out some books. When they get to the grocery store, Mr. Jansen can't find the long shopping list. Can Cam help him out?

Assessment: This is a fun story that will get kids to think about what they are reading as they read it, because they are trying to solve the mystery too.

The sentences are quite short, and the words tend to have between 1-3 syllables which are great for learning to read.

There is a neat activity when you first open the book to test your memory!
