This is the same series as "More Bob Books," but it has been repackaged. It is a series of eight readers focusing on short vowels, consonant blends and compound words. My five year old started with "Bob Books First" and has progressed to this series. He finds the stories much more interesting but sometimes struggles with the new compound words. By the third time reading a book he had mastered it sufficiently to be anxious to begin reading the next. We could not be more pleased with the series.

I can not say enough good things about these books. My 6 year old daughter has struggled with reading for a while. She would get frustrated and discouraged with other books. The BOB books are easy for her to decode, The illustrations are simple and not distracting.

she feels a sense of accomplishment when she completes the books. She brings one or two books with her where ever she goes and has started reading to everyone, she even calls her relatives out of state and reads them the stories over the phone! This is the best reading program I have ever seen! Thank you for developing this program!!!

These books are awesome in that they gently elevate the child to greater and greater difficulty in reading, consistently and slowly. There are no huge gaps in complexity, no wondering if this book is too difficult or too easy. Each set naturally progresses to the next, and the overall series ends with the child being comfortably able to process easy readers from the library. Both of my children were able to learn to read using their "Mat books" as they call them, and were always eager to read the next book, or begin the next box. I cannot praise them highly enough. Definitely worthwhile.

The Bob's Books are a great start for new readers! I couldn't find any other books simple enough to give my daughter confidence. Now she's in the 4th box (Level B, Set 2) and is starting to read OTHER books like Go Dog, Go and even the Cat in the Hat! When these books seem too much (because they're much longer) we go back to the Bob's books to gain more confidence. It's fun to listen to her read and help her learn in a very systematic way!

This is the best early reader set you can get. Simple and yet to the point. Makes reading fun and rewarding.

These books are wonderful. My children have learned to read using these series. The Level B set 2 simply extends the reading skills the children learned and practiced in Level A. and Level B set 1.

If you have a begining reader in your home this series is a great one. If you have a child who is a reader but needs more practice with the basics, this is a great level to start at.

Level B is a step up from Level A but they are not difficult. The books do a good job of progessively getting more difficult. I have been using the Bob Books to suppliment a phonics program for my preschooler. Both of us love them because she can get read a whole book my herself. They have definitely helped her advance her reading skills and I recommend them to everyone.

The entire series is great. My daughter loves reading through each book. As her special treat, she is allowed to pick one or two pages of the book to color afterwards. Normally we would never let her draw in her books, but the black and white line drawings in this book make it perfect for coloring.
