Customer Reviews

The first book my daughter "read"

My three year old daughter fell in love with this book when we borrowed it from the library. We have renewed it twice so now it's time to buy our own. It is a great first book because the pictures match up with all the words so it is really easy for the little ones to read.

Very Funny (at least to a 3-year old)!

My three-year old daughter chose this book from the library, and last night she declared that she wished it was *her* book, not one that she had to return (the first time she has ever expressed this interest.) She likes "reading" the stories and the same words are used in several contexts allowing for quick recognition ("Beeper counts moons" in one story, and "Beeper bakes a moon cake" in another story.) The thing that she likes the best about the stories is that she things they are hilarious. She laughs every time she sees the whimsical illustration of Beeper yawning or Baby making a blue mud cake.

So cute!

This is a set of 4 books that is really adorable. For kids who are just learning to read (especially using a whole language approach), this set will build confidence. The illustrations practically tell the story, so kids get a lot of help from them. A confidence builder that is invaluable for kids just starting out on the road to reading.
