Customer Reviews

Great for learning to write

I originally got this for my 1 1/2 year old, who had no interest in it. I'd agree with the other comments that the format is bad for that age level. However, my 4 1/2 year old got really interested in it, and it was the prompt that really got her working on her letters on her own. She would sit and copy words from the book and look through the book to match up words and pictures. Because there are so few words, I think it was approachable to her.

Great beginning-reader learning tool!

My older son is 3 years old and wanting to read more and more. This was a terrific little book that introduced him to some "sight words"... words that you can't, at least at age 3, necessarily sound out using basic phonics rules, but have to recognize when you see them. We liked it so much that now I'm hunting for more!!!

great book for preschoolers

this has been a really great book for our 3-now-4-year-old who is just beginning to pick out sight words. it's really helped him matching lower case with upper case letters. as the other reviewer said, i wouldn't recommend it for a younger child; it's not a picture book as such. but for beginning readers, i think it's terrific.
