Description

Highlights Puzzle Readers offer an innovative approach to learning that integrates puzzles and stories to develop motivated, confident readers. These Level 1 books are perfect for kids who are reading simple sight words and sounding out decodable text.

Maggie and Pie are bird buddies that love to cook—but sometimes Maggie gets a little mixed up! As they make fruit salad, in this Level 1 Highlights Puzzle Reader, kids can use clues in the story to find the supplies they need in simple visual puzzles that double as picture support for the text. With a bonus recipe, Maggie and Pie and the Perfect Picnic will appeal to junior chefs who are just discovering reading.
