My three-year old daughter chose this book from the library, and last night she declared that she wished it was *her* book, not one that she had to return (the first time she has ever expressed this interest.) She likes "reading" the stories and the same words are used in several contexts allowing for quick recognition ("Beeper counts moons" in one story, and "Beeper bakes a moon cake" in another story.) The thing that she likes the best about the stories is that she things they are hilarious. She laughs every time she sees the whimsical illustration of Beeper yawning or Baby making a blue mud cake.

Like all the Brand New Reader books, these went over well. I bought them a few months ago for my GS to read over the summer. Part of the "Nonna Summer Reading Program" - he calls me Nonna.
My GS has gotten to a point where BNR are really too easy, he usually chooses more difficult books now. This is largely due to the BNR books providing such positive early reading experiences.
He still enjoys the funny stories, though.

My three year old daughter fell in love with this book when we borrowed it from the library. We have renewed it twice so now it's time to buy our own. It is a great first book because the pictures match up with all the words so it is really easy for the little ones to read.

This is a set of 4 books that is really adorable. For kids who are just learning to read (especially using a whole language approach), this set will build confidence. The illustrations practically tell the story, so kids get a lot of help from them. A confidence builder that is invaluable for kids just starting out on the road to reading.
