Min, an elephant, wants to play, but her friends are too hot to join. Min then devises a plan to get water out of the bottom of a well and into an old empty pool. She uses a tube and a hose and is successful. 

This is a “Guided Reading Level E” book and the thing I like best about these books is that the levels are very gradual. There isn’t a big jump between levels, so a young reader never hits the frustrated point. This level seems right on point with the end of Kindergarten reading level.
