- Best learn to read books
These are great little books to help your child learn to read. My son learned to read in no time using these books. They are simple with black and white pictures with cute little stories.

- "look mommy I can read!"
Wow these books are amazing. Crafty and to the point. My son started these about 1 year ago and began reading 1 and 2 syllable words within the 1st two times of reading through the series. The boos can be colored by children since the drawings are just outlined pictures. I loved them, they beat hooked on phonics for me!
