The Mystery of the Pirate Ghost: An Otto and Uncle Tooth Adventure (Step into Reading Book Series: A Step 4 Book)

by Geoffrey Hayes

Overview

This series of affordable paperbacks offers an appealing variety of fiction and nonfiction by such popular authors as Jean Marzollo, Joyce Milton, Richard Scarry, and Joanna Cole—all carefully geared to the particular reading level of the reader. Using large, bright, full-page pictures and repetition to reinforce word comprehension, the Early Step Into Reading level is perfect for the just-beginning set. While Step 1 uses the same large type, this level offers greater story lines and more words per page. Step 2 moves into more complicated stories with an expanded vocabulary, and in Step 3, readers encounter paragraphs of text and a denser plot line. By Step 4, the books have chapters and feature many thrilling nonfiction topics. Grade 2 - Grade 3.

Editorial Reviews

Join Otto and his Uncle Tooth as they team up to solve their first case. There's a ghost on the loose in Boogle Bay. Someone painted a big red skull and crossbones on Joe Puffin's wall. Someone ran off with Otto's silver trumpet. And, someone who is wearing the hat of Blackeye Doodle, the pirate, has disappeared. A charming mystery in the "Step into Reading" series.
