P.D. Eastman character Aaron the Alligator chills out in this early reader! Accident-prone Aaron is no match for runaway snowballs and thin ice in this silly, wintry Step 1 book. And how many blankets on your bed are too many? Young readers will giggle along as they tackle the simple words and sentence structures all on their own. Aaron the Alligator is a star of The Cat in the Hat's Beginner Book Dictionary, and a long out-of-print series called Everything Happens to Aaron, the basis for this book. Look for more Aaron escapades: Aaron is a Good Sport; Aaron Has a Lazy Day; and Aaron Loves Apples and Pumpkins.

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
