From the publisher

When a boy finds a canteen, he finds his superpower-helping everyone he meets! From Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Winner Joe Cepeda, this Level C book is perfect for new readers. When a boy finds a canteen in his garage, he finds his superpower–helping everyone, from the postman to the local birds. I walk.I see a dog.I help. Very simple text and fun pictures support comprehension in this delightful book, ideal for new readers just starting out. Easy to read and brightly illustrated, this is a perfect book to read on their own! Other books in this series: I Hop (a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book), Up, I See, and I Dig, featuring the same curious, excited brothers exploring the world around them and celebrating the diversity of everyday life. For readers who have mastered basic sight words, Level C books feature slightly longer sentences and a wider range of high-frequency words than Level B books. Level C books are suitable for mid-to-late kindergarten readers. When Level C is mastered, follow up with Level D. The award-winning I Like to Read (c) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators–including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors–create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
