5.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulous First Reader, September 20, 2000
This review is from: Get The Ball, Slim (Real Kid Readers: Level 1) (Paperback)
Like the other books in this series, Get the Ball, Slim, is a terrific book. Other so-called first readers seem to be too advanced for the true beginner. Get the Ball, Slim, contains short, easy words that any true early reader can grasp. Sight words are incorporated with phonetic words and repetition makes this, as well as other books in the series, a pleasure to read for the true beginner.

A Good Book for Beginning Readers - a review of "Get the Ball, Slim", February 10, 2006
This review is from: Get The Ball, Slim (Real Kid Readers: Level 1) (Paperback)
This is a very nice beginning reader that doesn't move too fast verbally. The subject is two boys playing with their dog. The pictures are clear and fun and bound to be interesting to most children.
Here is text from the first few pages so you can judge the reading level for yourself:
I am Tim.
My twin is Jim.
We play ball with our dog Slim.
I get my mitt, the ball and bat. I get the dog....
Jim gets his hat.
Four Stars. Very nice primer, but at 5 dollars it is rather pricey for what you get.
