Will I Have a Friend?
Ages 3–6 · 1967

Written by Miriam Cohen · Illustrated by Lillian Hoban
A first grader is impatient to read, not knowing he already is.
Jim can't wait to learn to read and wonders when it will finally happen. His teacher helps him see that reading is more than books, and that he is already reading the signs and words all around him.
