Look at Me Book Level 3-5

In Look at Me, readers follow a cheerful pig who gets dressed in a series of colourful clothes-only to discover that he has turned into a rainbow! This light-hearted narrative is packed with visual sub-plots that enrich students' engagement and oral storytelling, including a joyful twist ending that brings the story full circle. The book's structure encourages early readers to develop comprehension strategies such as using illustrations to support understanding, making personal connections, hypothesising outcomes, and inferring meaning. A high ratio of single-syllable words fosters confidence in one-to-one word matching, while the repetition and high-frequency words support fluency and early print concepts. The text is carefully designed with one-line captions, two textual changes per page, and a shift in structure on the final page for dramatic effect. The book ends on a high note, both visually and linguistically, with an exclamation mark and title repetition to reinforce narrative closure. Themes of self-expression, joy, and discovery are subtly interwoven throughout the text.
