The best series I have found for very early readers. The pictures match the text, the sentences are very short, and the words are words children use everyday. I highly recommend this book and others in this series for any early readers out there.
This is one of those books that you can read once to a child and they can read it back to you next! Books like these can be somewhat hard to find if it's not in a baby board book, so this is a real treat to have for any new reader. It feels like a "big kid" book to them and you'll enjoy hearing your child read from front to back the first time.This is a perfect first reader for kindergarten(or younger if your blessed) up to early first grade(after a forgetful summer). Most of the sentences are made of two and three words each. They don't go into specific detail about the bugs, it just encourages early simple adjectives: fat bugs, shiny bugs, round bugs, etc. In fact, those are actually a few of the sentences from pages in the book. "A bug in a sidewalk" is one of the most challenging pages to read. My son enjoyed reading it when he was in Kindergarten and it was a staple that we frequently would go back to when he would get frustrated from trying to read harder ones, just to remind him..He can do it! The topic is a positive one which can also encourage kids bugs aren't so bad. :)This is NOT an educational tool for teaching about different bugs. This isn't even much of a storybook. IT IS A WONDERFUL FIRST READER!
I was really disappointed when the books I ordered in this series arrived. They use an interior font that has letters no learning-to-reader would recognized, like stylized "a" and "t". I think in a book that is for a beginning reader you need the most generic looking font using the most basic looking letter styles for kids who are just putting letters together into words.
This is a wonderful book, with funny illustrations, and easy-to-read text. I bought this book for my daughter, because she has become scared of any and all bugs. I was hoping this book would help her to get over her fear of these interesting creatures. She is only two, but already she can identify bugs outside with the bugs illustrated in this book. This is a great beginner book.
This is a fantastic book! My 5 year old son loves to read it to me after only hearing me read it twice to him.
As with every Margaret Wise Brown book I have ever seen; (I own 13 titles now); VERY Kid-friendly. My daughter likes bugs too and is just learning to read. Most pages in this story have 2 - 3 words. Perfect for the early reader!
This book is a great starter book for my kindergarten boy who is learning sight words. There are a lot of repeat words in this book, smaller words and a funny story to follow.
I love the step one books, they are perfect for my 5 year old learning to read. There aren't too many words so they are great for very early readers. These books are easier than the others that are level 1. The price is great so I'm able to order several at a time so he isn't just memorizing the stories, we can read different ones every day.
