Customer Reviews

My daughter adores this book!

I bought several of the books in this series for my three-year-old daughter, and they have become her favorites. The plots are easy to follow and, for her, reflect everyday life - playing with friends, making dinner, shopping, riding bikes. She is totally absorbed when we read them, and particularly enjoys looking at the beautiful drawings. I highly recommend these books to any parent. While the simple and repetitive language may seem dull to us, it is comforting to small children.

Book Review

My son has dyslexia. These books have been exceptional in helping us teach him to read. Much more repetitive than some of the newer reading programs. Offers a dyslexic child an opportunity to repeat a word over and over in order to store it.

Classic books at a great price

We bought 5 of these Dick and Jane books for our two oldest girls, ages 6 and 4, and they love them. Their reading has improved dramatically. Our oldest has read all five books. The price was unbeatable. We had a coupon, so we only paid a little over $10 for all 5 books. If we had paid [...] they would still be worth it.
