Customer Reviews

My six year old likes it

I think it is a good book. My six year old son can read it independently. In the "Step into Reading" series I tend to like the biographies a little better than the science books. The science books don't provide quite enough information.

GREAT BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS

My son loved the Step Into Reading books when he was a new reader. You really can't go wrong with any of the books in this series. My son's favorite was Hungry Hungry Sharks. I bought this one for my 5 year old nephew who is crazy about Whales. This book is a must have for the young non-fiction reader in your life.

Great reader

My son is starting 2nd grade in the fall and these Step 2 books are perfect for him! The Whales book is both informative, which he loved, and at the exact level that he needs! I highly recommend this book along with the other step 2 books!
