5.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with BOB Books!, October 10, 1999

My daughter began reading with the BOB Books last year and now as a kindergartener, is working her way through the second series, More BOB Books. Maslen has done an excellent job in developing a series of books that build on one another so that each book is a little more difficult than the previous one. The first page in each book reviews which new sounds will be added so that the child may be review them before they begin the book. My daughter has developed a real sense of pride in her ability to read through these books. You really can't go wrong with BOB Books.

Alot of easy readers are boring to kids. My daughter has found the Bobs books series interesting and FUNNY, from the very first book. The books are written by a teacher and so there is a logical phonetic progression from book to book. The pictures are so cute, line drawings illustrate every page. Each little booklet is just long enough, giving the child just enough challenge. WHen my daughter finishes one, she feels so proud. I have bought literally hundreds of easy readers for my library over the years, and these books are number one with my daughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great series!, December 27, 1998

This review is from: Bob Books: For Beginning Readers, Set 1-12 Vol. (Paperback)

Finally beginning books for children who are really just beginning. My three-year-old has known her letter sounds for over a year but suddenly began reading with her introduction to Bob books this month. She is gaining confidence and is surprised that she can read like her older cousins. Her six-year-old cousin is also excited about reading since she borrowed our Bob books two months ago. One word of caution, clever children will quickly memorize the story line that goes with the simple pictures and may tell you the story without reading the words. It was helpful for us to break the words down letter by letter on index cards before attempting our first Bob book.
