Day They Skipped Emma's Birthday — Oliver Neubert

The Caramel Tree Readers Level 4 is a delicious series of leveled readers for children ages 7 to 9. The diverse, original stories have a word count of approximately 2,000 words. The stories in this series vary with narrative in first person or third person, and they have increased character dialogue, which allows students to develop character studies. They focus on realistic fiction and have settings that students can relate to, but each story has a unique twist that will keep students thinking. Emma wakes up one day and thinks that nobody remembers her birthday. Of course she is sad, but what can she do? Should she tell everyone it is her birthday?
