The Best Seat in Second Grade: A Back to School Book for Kids

Sam has the best seat in second grade—right next to George Washington, the class pet! 

Sam brings his hamster buddy on the class field trip to the science museum…but disaster strikes when George jumps from Sam’s pocket into the museum’s Hamster Habitat.

“Carter’s expressive watercolor illustrations help bring the kids in room 75 and their furry pet to life,” commented Kirkus.

The Best Seat in Second Grade is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on
their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a
classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level
Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

Sam is tired of waiting to be Hamster Helper. So when his class takes a trip to the science museum, Sam decides to bring along something extra . . .
