I Can Read: Level 2 is a children’s early reader imprint from HarperCollins, featuring books by many authors designed for beginning readers. The series includes classics like Emmett’s Pig (1959), Bread and Jam for Frances (1964), and Owl at Home (1975), alongside modern titles featuring characters like Flat Stanley, Amelia Bedelia, and Marley the dog.
The sixty-nine books in this collection span six decades of children’s publishing. Early entries are by Arnold Lobel and Russell Hoban, while more recent titles draw from popular franchises. The Flat Stanley books alone account for several entries, with titles like Flat Stanley and the Haunted House (2010) and Flat Stanley Goes Camping (2013). The Marley books, based on John Grogan’s famous Labrador, add another recurring thread.
Level 2 also includes non-fiction early readers. Amazing Tigers! (2004), Amazing Snakes! (2006), and Sea Creatures (2011) cover animals, while the biography entries on figures like George Washington (2017) and Harriet Tubman (2018) introduce young readers to American history. The range of subjects makes this level useful for readers with varied interests.
