Level 2 Early Reader (Ages 5–7)
Acorn-Putters: Moving Day (Level 2) is an early reader book designed for kids aged 5-7 who are growing their reading skills.
Hazel and Scamp Acorn-Putter are moving to a brand-new home in Hemlock Bluff, and everything feels different. Boxes are everywhere, the rooms sound unfamiliar, and Hazel isn’t sure the new place will ever feel quite right. But as the Acorn-Putters unpack, laugh together, and meet a kind new neighbor, Hazel begins to discover something important: home is not just a place, it’s what we build with love, patience, and community.
This Level 2 version of Moving Day is a gentle early reader designed for children who are starting to read more independently. With short paragraphs, simple sentences, and supportive storytelling, this book builds reading confidence while helping children navigate big feelings about change.
It’s a comforting story for families going through a move, starting school, or adjusting to something new.
