- Excellent Reading Development Books. The BEST i've found
- these are the best reading development books I've found. We have tried the Beginning Level 1 reading books often offered in children toy shops and never liked them or found them easy to use. BOB books have simple and very clever illustrations and the words used are the perfect first words for beginner readers. The books set the little readers up for success. I have just purchased the more advanced series. These are great for 4 - 6 year olds depending on where they are with alphabet understanding and phonics.

- My daughter loves to do homework!
- My daughter entered Kindergarten this year and was not thrilled about having to practice letters and read at home, however, these books got her excited about reading! She knows that at the beginning of each book are the sounds she will be reading throughout the entire book. The simplicity of 'Mat Sat' and other simple sentences seems to really help her feel a sense of accomplishment. I love watching her smile after she finishes each book!
I have recommended these books to several friends and family members! - 2008-09-09, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- If you want your child to learn to read early, these are the books!
- When my son was 3.5 years old, a parent I knew from the private school my other child went to told me most kids were reading in kindergarden and that I should start working with my child to help him be prepared for school. Things had changed in the five years since my other son started school! Of course I went right home and started doing research and found the Bob books. My son was reading at a 10th grade level in 2nd grade and is in all advanced/honor classes now as a freshman. I credit this all to teaching him the joy of learning how to read at a young age and how rewarding it is to succeed. The reward system works well when things get a little boring when reading these books. They are very basic and I have to admit when I first saw them I wasn't sold but boy did they pay off!

- Good content, a bit overpriced
- I got recommendation for Bob books from my kid's school teacher. I liked the content but for the price I paid for this, I expected better pictures. It seemed like the publisher skimped on colors etc. At times my kid asks that the book says 'red car'then why isn't car red? Well, because publisher saved a penny there! Either this needs to be a bit cheaper or the quality needs to be improved.
However, the reading content is very good. My kid is enjoying it and learning words. I would recommend this to beginner readers. - 2008-07-29, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The Best Books for Beginners!
- This is an excellent series for children who are first learning how to read. These small square books are 16 pages each, lightweight and nicely sized for little hands to hold. The hand-drawn illustrations are so cute! Most of the words are only three letters long which makes them very easy for kids to read. Yet even with such a simple text, the stories are unique and entertaining. These books aren't meant to be read to your child, but to have your child read to you. I really enjoy having my son read them to me. We used Bob Books in conjunction with the Alpha-Phonics program (Alpha-Phonics: A Primer for Beginning Readers), and my son was able to read the first two Bob Books all by himself after just finishing his second lesson in Alpha-Phonics. This was great because it helped him to build confidence in his new skill right away!
