See Me Dig

The energetic dogs from Geisel Award Honor Book See Me Run are back in another adventure in this Guided Reading Level D book.
 
These dogs like to dig—and dig—and dig! But when their digging disturbs gophers, racoons, and an angry bear, they have to run!  The beach is a new place to dig, but what could be in that treasure chest. . . ? Pirate's treasure?  No . . . it's full of pirate ghosts, and they have to run away again!
 
Finally, the dogs find a new spot—and something that likes to dig as much as they do.
 
Bright, cartoonish illustrations bring this story to life, full of energy and action—adding detail and humor to the simple text to support the story.  This cast of mischievous dogs is sure to win your heart as they play in the dirt and chase each other through the pages of this early reader.
 
The award-winning  I Like to Read® series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards.  Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors—create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
 
Suitable for late kindergarten readers, Level D books use a wider vocabulary and more complex plots with multiple scenes.  They feature longer sentences and greater variety in sentence structure than the prior levels.  Move onto Level E books next!

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
