Great little beginner reader!
Amazon Verified Purchase, Cathy
As a retired literacy instructor I found these titles to be high interest and great for beginning readers. The patterned text, visual cues, and emphasis on sight words will make these very popular for an early reader.

The best young readers books available!

My 6 year old loves Carolyn’s books! She reads them confidently and with ease.
I love all the wonderful additional information Carolyn provides at the end of the stories to create more opportunities to learn and discuss topics with my daughter.

Goodreads Review
Julie Baker, USA
This is a very cute first sight word book. The photographs are nice and the graphics very child friendly. Love the extras at the back of the book. Makes reading to a child easy and it is a great book for beginners!!

Goodreads Review – Wonderful for emerging or struggling readers
Feather Chelle, Author, USA
This early reader is a treasure because it educates, engages, and entertains all at once. The subtle clues make decoding a joy, and the pictures bring the ranch to life in a special way. My reluctant reader ate it up, so we will definitely be checking out the rest of the series.

My Students love this book!
Amazon Customer
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
Amazon Review-Dawn Hystad

Engaging Pictures and Fun Text
Amazon Customer
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.
