- Great books!
- I agree - these are really great books to encourage young preschoolers to read. My five year old started working on them and then my three year old picked them up and started them too! As they are short books, however, I have a feeling my kids are just repeating what they've "memorized" rather than actually "reading" them. But still, I feel it's helpful as they sound out letters they already know. I had been using "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons" and both my daughter and I hated it. But now we enjoy reading these Bob books and the cute stories.

- My two-year-old is reading!
- Wow! My two- (alomost three-) year-old learned his letters at 18 months and recently I realized he knew all of the individual sounds. I thought I'd try these books. He loves them and can read the simple words with the picture clues. It is very exciting for him and he is really proud of himself. I left one star off because as an educator, I don't believe these books are magic or should be pushed on the beginning reader. Some kids learn best using phonics and some kids do not. Readers need a vast variety of reading materials. The Bob books can be a great part of a full reading program.

- Great positive reinforcement for beginning readers
- These books were recommended to me by my child's preschool teacher as a way to help reinforce her early learning. We were reading books together at home and I would encourage my daughter to read some of the words and sentences, but she became easily frustrated when she could not recognize or sound out the words correctly. These little books give her an opportunity to read a whole book without my help, which gives her a great sense of accomplishment, plus reinforces sight words and sound families like -at, -ot, etc. I think the series will continue to provide positive reinforcement and hopefully help my child develop a love of reading.

- Lovely and Delightful first reading series!
- We became acquainted with the Bob series a few months ago when my (then) three year old daughter started bringing books home from her Montessori classroom. She immediately fell in love them and also fell in love with reading.
The author did a great job with the series by offering just the right amount of words on a page as well as with the length of the book; each book is about a dozen pages. The early books start out with 4 words per page with more words added per page as you progress through to Book 12. After the title page of each book is a list of new sounds or punctuation marks that are introduced in that story. The simple illustrations are cute and so full of expression that they naturally lead to discussions about what the characters might be thinking/feeling in the story.
Her favorite book in this series is "Dot and the Dog", but what she loves most is that she can pick any book out of the box and read it cover to cover all by herself. She's about halfway through Series 2 and always looks forward to getting her hands on the next book. - 2008-02-01, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
