Description
After trying to fly his kite in different places, Riley finally finds the perfect spot.
Quick Summary
Riley's got a kite and a whole lot of determination, but finding the right spot to fly it turns out to be trickier than he expected. Kids will love seeing Riley try everything from the backyard to the park to what seems like every corner of the neighborhood, each attempt leading to something a little different (and sometimes a little silly). At just 107 words, this is a great early reader for kids in kindergarten through second grade who are building confidence with short sentences and simple stories. It's perfect for newly independent readers who want something they can actually finish on their own, or for parents doing bedtime read-alouds with little ones who love anything involving the outdoors or trying new things. There's a satisfying ending when Riley finally figures out where his kite belongs, and little ones will enjoy predicting it before he does. If your kid loves persistence-themed stories, this pairs nicely with "The Carrot Seed" by Ruth Krauss both have that same gentle, keep-trying spirit in a tiny package.
