Great books for beginning readers

Reviewed by Cayden (age 4) and Max (age 2) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (1/09) "This is My Town" by Mercer Mayer is part of the "I Can Read!" series of books for emergent readers. In this book, we go along on a tour of Critterville with our guide Little Critter. We visit familiar places like the post office, the bakery, the library, and the store. Cayden: "We have other books with that Critter in them. We are learning to read in preschool and I know some words. I know the word `this' and it is in this book a lot. I liked how they went to all of the places in the town. I liked the pictures too. They were funny!" Max: "I like the monster. I like the school and the pictures." Parent's comments: "This is My Town," by Mercer Mayer, is a great "I Can Read!" book. The characters and setting are familiar to Mercer Mayer fans and the writing is very basic in order to help the beginning reader.
