- The absolute best "first book" for kids
- I had bought several "beginner" books for my daughter who is just learning to read and all of them seemed way too hard for a real beginner. Then a friend recommended this set of books and my daughter loves them!!! They're easy enough for her to read (with some work still) but it's very motivating her to continue learning unlike the other books which are too hard and she gets frustrated and gives up.

- My kids love these!!
- These are books that very early readers can really read all by themselves. It is a real confidence boost for children to feel like they can read independently. Each book presents a new sound concept like the short e sound and builds on concepts learned in previous books. Books are just the right length for the attention span of a 3-5 year old early reader.

- Only had them one day, but...
- I'm delighted! The negative reviews had me full of doubts, and I see what some are getting at, but in terms of making reading accessible and fun to start, these have already been effective and I've only had them 24 hours. My little one is enjoying "reading" them already, remembered what he learned yesterday, and was at least interested enough in them to puzzle out what he wasn't sure of.
Some reviewers have complained these are boring. I'm sure if you used them as a "text" for "reading lessons," or for anyone over, say, three or four, they'd bore everyone to tears. As a fun way to get your child easily and almost unwittingly to look at the words s/he's reading, these are great. Even if my child never looked at them again, in one day I've gotten my money's worth. And I'm sure he'll enjoy them over and over as part of learning to read.
FWIW our house is filled to the brim with books for all ages, on all topics, and every member of the household is constantly reading. These books, "boring" or not, will serve their purpose well. Children love simple repetition, and it is an essential part of the learning process- if it's dull, there's something lacking in the presentation, not the material! We are reading "Mat sat on Sam" with great joy! - 2008-01-15, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great for learning to read
- These books are great for parents trying to figure out how to teach your child to read. Instruction for the parents are also included with these books. The books build confidence in your child so that they want to progress in the series.

- Very pleased, child able to read the first 4 easiest books almost immediately
- These came recommended by homeschooling parents. They are also at our childs Montessori school. Our child was able to read the red/first 4 books almost immediately and was so excited and stating "I can read by myself!". They are numbered and color coded and purposely put very boring type of drawings in so the kids will stay focused on the words and not the drawings. Our child loves these books. They are small enough to take with you in your purse and practice reading wherever you are.
