Each book is 64 pages of simple text and represents one day of freedom and fun. So the I Can Read! series was already 30 years old by the time I was reading.ĭanny and the Dinosaur was published first, in 1958 and then Sammy the Seal in 1959. They’re probably a lot of kids’ first reads, as they’re both Level 1 books in the I Can Read! series, the first of which was 1957’s Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. But, I keep changing my mind about which one was actually my first book, so they stand together as my first books. I’m pretty sure that Sammy the Seal by Syd Hoff was the first book I ever read myself, followed quickly by Hoff’s Danny and the Dinosaur.
