Though this series of An I Can Read Book is labeled as a Level 1 Beginning Reading Book, I felt that it is more of a Level 2 book because of some of the higher vocabulary used. My daughter is five-and-a-half and will start kindergarten this fall, and we both felt that these books were a step up from other level one books, for example the Step Into Reading series. Though she was able to read this book independently, I just feel parents should be aware that this book has some advanced vocabulary and complex sentence structure which beginning readers might have some difficulty with, e.g.:

"I'm happy that we have good weather for our family get-together!"

"We've done our best to prepare to welcome the family to our lair."

"Look! Twin Cousins Mike and Ike are riding their two-seater bike."

The books in the series have engaging story lines and each page has beautiful full-color illustrations. This particular title is about the Berenstain Bears' family reunion and it is written in a delightful rhyming format which makes it a fun read! This is an excellent series that will motivate young children to read.

My 3 1/2 year old granddaughter LOVES this one! She likes the Berenstain's books, but this one is great.

I Love this book! I always buy Berenstain Bears as "transition books" for my daughter. We read it every year the night before our family reunion and talk about it so she knows what to expect. It really helps her to take her book with her. She isn't as shy when she is showing off something "cool."
