These books are TINY, flimsy, and about 5 pages per book. I am extremely disappointed based on the quality BUT each book comes out to be about .70 cents and I guess my hopes shouldn't be so high. With that said it's not that bad of a deal for reinforcing short vowel and long vowel sounds and blends. In my photo is a "step into reading" book I purchased from Target (left) to show a size comparison to the books received in the set (right). My intention was to give as a Christmas gift but maybe will just save as a stocking stuffer...
I too, found this a skimpy set of books for the money, and as an English teacher and Reading Specialist, am not impressed. The worst disappointment is that there are grammatical errors within the text of the books. It is the same type of error each time: subject-verb agreement, but the inconsistency of the errors show correct usage in some cases and incorrect usage in other cases. Example: "(book 2) "The Paw Patrol help friends." also, "The Paw Patrol do their best." Because Paw Patrol is one group, it should be treated as singular…"helps" and "does" in the above cases. This continues with two mistakes in book 4, one in book 8, one in book 9, and three in book 12. There are several instances where "The Paw Patrol" has the correct verb…."(book 7) "The Paw Patrol is on the way." and "The Paw Patrol saves the day!" This just proves to me that they REALLY don't know what they are doing. And, it is published by Random House, a very good company in most cases. I am VERY disappointed and considering sending it back. If the grandchild had not already seen them, the package would already be in the mail. UPDATE: I emailed Random House and informed them of their mistakes. Also, I mailed the books back and my grandson did not miss them.
I preordered these books for my Paw Patrol loving son. I thought because the books were of his favorite characters they would hold his attention and help him learn to read. Unfortunately these are extremely small and aren't exciting at all. Each book has a short story, one sentence & one picture per page, with 6 pages total. They are paper and are 5" x 5" in size. The images are ok and the writing is in line with phonics books but the size of it is really small and paper is flimsy. The box they come in is probably the best feature of the set, although it has a cardboard filler so the books don't fit perfectly on their own. Compared to the cost of book sets that are higher quality (like The Amazing Machines by Tony Mitton & Ant Parker - $16) it makes sense that these are less than $9. At the end of the day I would have paid more for a nicer quality book and would avoid cheap book sets in the future. Unfortunately it costs more than 1/2 the cost to return (at $4.98) so I'll be keeping it.
I wish I would have paid attention to the poster that had the pictures of the size of books. I totally missed that. I have never ordered such small books before and was totally surprised when we got them. I think that's too bad. My son loves everything Paw Patrol. He still likes the books, but this is not something I would buy again and would not tell my friends to buy it. I have added a photo to show the difference between normal size books and these books.
The other reviews are right; these books are short! But for a beginning reader, they are great. Sure, I can read them in no time at all, but my 5 year old gets intimidated by longer books and gives up (feeling defeated). These are the perfect. They focus on different sounds, have short stories to follow and are short enough that he can read the whole book on his own without feeling intimidated or having to ask for assistance to get though it in a reasonable amount of time. Self esteem booster!
I know a few reviews complaining of the size of these books and that they are so small and stories are short . In my opinion, you want a learning reader to stay interested . Short attention spans in younger children - they might get bored if the books were longer. It's only my opinion of course and everyone is different . Also my 3 year old daughter loves everything "Paw Patrol" so these were perfect for her.
I did not pay attention to the size in the item description, and did not look at any of the reviews before purchasing, so I was VERY surprised when I first saw the package. These books are VERY small. That being said, after the initial shock wore off, I think they might be just perfect for little hands. Yes, the books are small to me, but I didn’t purchase them for me, I bought them for my 5 and 6 year olds. The covers seem sturdy, and the pages are of good quality. When you start book 1, there are just a few words on each page, perfect for brand new beginning readers. I love how each new book introduces a new phonics rule, along with new sight words, blending sounds, and Paw Patrol words so they are learning more and more words as they go, all while reinforcing ones they’ve already learned. As your kids progress through the books they get a little bit harder and have more words on each page. I also like how at the beginning of the book it lists the new words they will be learning, so you can practice with your child before they start to read the story. All in all, I give these books 2 thumbs up!! My kids are both very excited to start reading them, and even though my newly 5-year-old hasn’t started reading yet, she loves ALL THINGS PAW PATROL, and is just as excited for them as my new reader.
