A story about Reading
for your Preschooler.

Cactus Cody lived on a dusty range. He loved to read big, shiny books. One day, he found a secret map about the Golden Book.

“Rusty, look here!” said Cactus Cody. “This map shows a hidden treasure. It’s the Golden Book!”

Cody and Rusty set off at sunrise. They rode past tall cacti and dusty rocks. They followed the map’s winding path.

Soon they came to a wide river. The water splashed and rushed. Cody’s heart beat fast.

“How will we cross?” asked Cactus Cody. He checked the map. “Let’s go slow, Rusty. We must be careful.”

Cody led Rusty step by step. They splished and splashed safely across. “Reading a map can help us find the best way,” said Cody.

On the other side, a tall hill stood before them. The map said, “Climb the hill to see the goal.”

Cody looked up, feeling brave. “Let’s climb together, Rusty. One step at a time!” he said.
