5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Baby - a Great Book for Beginners!, April 30, 2000

This review is from: THE FUNNY BABY, SOFTCOVER, BEGINNING TO READ (BEGINNING-TO-READ BOOKS) (Paperback)

Margaret Hillert's book, Funny Baby, is such a nice version of the "Ugly Duckling" story made readable for beginners. The illustrations are great and keep the child entertained visually as well as helping with the understanding of the story. The text is made up of a basic word list and those words are used repeatedly throughout the book. The basic text gives the child the chance to actually read a whole book and this gives a great sence of accomplishment. I give this book a big thumbs up for story content, level accuracy and illustrations.

3.0 out of 5 stars confusing, April 28, 2009

This review is from: THE FUNNY BABY, SOFTCOVER, BEGINNING TO READ (BEGINNING-TO-READ BOOKS) (Paperback)

This story is a retelling of the ugly duckling. My 5 year old was able to read the words but failed to follow the plot line. It never says in the story that time is passing - I think you are supposed to assume it because the illustrations show spring, then summer, etc - but my son missed that and I had to explain the story to him. He does not typically have problems with following the story. The illustrations are charmingly old fashioned.
