The Fox on the Box (Start to Read! Library Edition Series)

Rating:
Summary: Okay but too short even for a beginning reader
Review: My son is a beginning reader and this book just has a few words in it. The Fox on the Box and a few others. I would suggest investing in the Bobs Books Series for beginning readers. You get a lot more for the money.

Summary: Words with lots of pictures
Review: This is a wonderful first reading book.The book is structured so that there is a page with words and then a page with an illustration only. This structure gave my son a break from concentrating. Reading a book like this made his first reading experience enjoyable.

Summary: A Great First Book For Your New Reader
Review: This is the first book that my kindergarten son was able to read independently. After practicing with Level 1A books at school, he was so proud to be able to pick up this book and read it from start to finish. He got a big kick out of the surprise ending and has read it over and over to anyone who will listen--in person and on the phone. The sentence construction is very simple ("The fox sat on a box.") but it's a sweet, funny story that is enhanced by beautiful watercolor illustrations. Even our 15 month old daughter now loves to sit in his lap to have him read it to her. Although he'll outgrow it soon, his reading confidence has been helped a great deal by having books of his own that he can read. We're adding more of Barbara Gregorich's books to his library for just that reason. It's an easy investment to help him develop a lifelong love of reading.
