Cute and Simple

I recently got this book to read with my nephew (recently turned 6) who has been taking Tae Kwon Do for the past few months. The reading difficulty level was a little bit on the basic side for him, but that was appropriate for the advertised difficulty of the book, since we typically go with stage 2 books from this series for him now. The drawings are very cute and the overall depiction of a Tae Kwon Do class is about as accurate as you could hope for when the author has to write to as basic a level as this book is intended to be. Considering the age range of the audience and the kids in the pictures, one thing I would have liked to see is at least one or two kids in the class being in the white or yellow belts. Still, it was a nice book. I had my nephew read it to me, and then he started asking me to read it to him, and wandered off to get his grandmother to read it to him as well. I'd say it was a hit and it seemed to me as if most little kids with any interest at all in martial arts would enjoy it.

Lets go to Tae Kwon Do class! Beginners reading book

This book is a ready to read book which is for preschool to kindergarten children. The books have picture clues, rhyming text and easy word in big type. A brother and sister go to their Tae Kwon Do class. The class is filled with multi-cultural children and show them doing kicks, chops, falling and floping. The book is well illustrated by Todd Bonita. I like how he illustrated children from all different races. A very cute book for a child who loves Tae Kwon Do and is a beginner reader.

GREAT for kids

We bought this book as a gift for the daughter of our TaeKwondo instructor. She is 3 and learning to read and this was such a delightful book for a young child to read. The typical TaeKwondo class is shown in the text and pictures are fun and accurate. A great book for any child in or thinking about learning TaeKwondo

Karate Party Favor

I gave this book out to the children at my son's 4th birthday at a Karate studio. They all loved it. It has catchy rhymes and it is a beginning reading book. The pictures are adorable and perfect for girls and boys.
