Arthur's Pen Pal by Lillian Hoban

Arthur annoyed by his little sister and babysitter glorifies his new pen pal. When he finds out his pen pal is a tough girl not a boy, he begins to realize his sister isn't so bad.

An I Can Read Book written for a level two reader. The book does not contain chapters but the text and illustrations are large enough to not leave a child overwhelmed. The actions Arthur and his sister go through are common to a young reader and what isn't is covered by the illustration. The text lines up on the left side and is not indented helping train the child's eye to start at the left each time.
