 learn to read January 8, 2008

I have a 6 year old who is beginning to read. The books she brings home from school have sentences that repeat along with difficult words that she figures out through picture clues. I am sure that this helps her learn to read, but I also realize that she simply memorizes the repetitive sentences. These books use words with the same phonemes (like "oo" and "ay") along with mostly simple words that she can already read (for example: is, on, she). Each book revolves around about 3 phonemes. There are still some words on each page that are difficult for her and do not revolve around the phonemes, but I guess it's difficult to make a story fun and interesting without them. I do believe that the repetitive nature of the words with the same phonemes will help her to read (for example: In the book Goose on the Loose - words with the "oo" phoneme include goose, scooter, loose, fool, boo, moo, pool, kangaroos, and rooster). I would recommend this whole series along with the Dick and Jane books (which repeat simple words over and over).

These are a great series of phonics books. My 2 year old started with Shark in the Park and loved it! After some investigating I realized that all the characters appear throughout this series making fun recognizable friends for your little ones. My son loves to find the hidden duck on each page. I highly recommend these books.
 An Okay Book December 9, 2006

There wasn't much captivating about this book to recommend itself, but it is a book that my 14 month old occasionally requests me to read to her. The text is a bit confusing to a young one since it was contrived to fit into a rhyme. The flaps are also flimsy and are mostly bent in our copy. The book would be best suited for children learning to read, although by that stage, the flaps will probably have lost their appeal.

I have read many bed time books to my 8-month old, but this is the ONLY one we get through let alone with tons of smiles and giggles. The illustrations, words, flaps - MAGIC!
First book my daughter "read" November 6, 2003

This is the BEST book! My little kindergardener is reading now, and this was the first book she reallly read on her own. Easy and fun to read...will give your children the self-esteem they need to do it on their own. I highly recommend this and the other books in this series.
