Lee just wants to read all day. In fact, he wants to read all week. He will not stop!
1
Lee reads as he eats his meal.
‘Lee, stop it! You will drop beans on your clean jeans if you read and eat,’ says Mum.
2
On the way to play with his mates, Lee reads in the street. He can not see his feet and he trips on a log!
3
Lee sits next to a tree and reads as his team plays on the green. He stays to read as all his mates leave.
4
On the beach, Lee reads as Mum and Dad swim in the sea.
‘Come and see the reef, Lee!’ yells Dad.
‘No thanks! I’ll stay on the sand and read,’ Lee yells back.
5
‘Lee, you must sleep! It’s late,’ calls Mum. But Lee sits in bed and reads and reads.
6
In class, Miss Chen must teach Lee maths. Lee just wants to read!
7
At the end of the day, Miss Chen tells the class to sit at the desks and read. ‘At last!’ says Lee. ‘I’m free to read in peace!’
