The End of the Rainbow

Find out what's waiting at the end of the rainbow in this Level E book, perfect for kids just beginning to read on their own.

When a glorious, colorful rainbow spreads across the sky after a storm, a girl wonders what might be at the end. Setting out, she gathers traveling companions—a cat, a turtle, a horse. Everyone is excited! But even though the rainbow disappears before they reach the end, it's all right—they found something even better. . . new friends!

Gentle pen-and-watercolor illustrations by The New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly enhance the simple story, giving hints to what everyone expects to find at the end of their journey.

The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards.
