My students are very engaged when they read the simple text that has helping icons. The pictures are cute and help to keep their interest. Kids will read these books over and over again! We need these in our home reading bins at my school.Beautiful Pictures and Supportive Text
Amazon Review-Devon
This book is perfect for emergent readers. The pictures elicit conversation with students and I like the way there are subtle "hints" to help kids with the high frequency words. All kindergarten and grade one classes should have this book series available to students.Written By a Teacher

This series of books for early readers is amazing. The pictures are cute and encourage discussion. I love how Ms. Wild has added "facts" at the end to help teachers and parents go beyond the simple text with children. The children at my school LOVE these books.Look at those little guys

Having helped on the farm with chicks I can see kids really enjoying this book. It brings the fun to reading and expands to be more than just a simple story. Great for homes, schools, libraries and more.
