Jerry wants to use his birthday money to buy some treats for himself. But he changes his mind when he arrives at the store. Why? The I Can Read series consists of ten stories, with each title focusing on a different character trait, which is demonstrated through a story about an adventure the main character has, a problem he or she encounters, or some interesting things he or she comes upon. The series is a well-rounded educational tool that helps children learn the importance of being honest, helpful and cheerful.
