Best Nest (Cassette and Book) [Audio Cassette]

P. D. Eastman (Author)

Book Description

Series: Cassette and Book

'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme, and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading. Two birds face many decisions and dangers before finding THE BEST NEST. This dramatic story will engage the interests of both beginning readers and their younger brothers and sisters.

This was my favorite book as a child-- my mom must have read it to me hundreds of times. I am now expecting my first child and this will be one of the first books that I purchase for her!

5.0 out of 5 stars my favorite book ever, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Nest (Beginner Books(R)) (Hardcover)

This book I know by heart, and I am 23 years old. My mother also knows it by heart because she had to read it to me over and over when I was a child. It was a joy to share this book with my niece and it will be a joy when I have children of my own to read this a thousand times like my mother did. I still have my old copy, and my neice has her brand new copy I bought for her on the day of her birth. It's a classic book teaching that "in all the world, this nest is best"
