K-Gr 1-These series titles are designed to be shared by adults and youngsters. The children's pages have large print and only a few simple words or sentences, while those for adults are more difficult. Hansel and Gretel follows the traditional story, minus the stepmother. The pictures are rather stiff, stylized cartoons. Many superior renditions of the story are available; this one's only strength is to promote the concept of tandem reading. In New Red Bed, a boy experiences a series of manic dream adventures when he sleeps in his new bed for the first time. There is no coherent story-just rapid changes of scene, brightly illustrated with humorous cartoons. Subjects were apparently chosen with an ear toward phonics: "-dog on a frog," "-fish on a dish," "-green bats in hats/and big fat blue cats." Budgets would be better spent on traditional easy-reader favorites.-Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY

My Kids Love It!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hansel and Gretel (We Both Read - Level 1-2) (Paperback)
This was our first "We Both Can Read" book and it is still my children's favorite. These books are wonderful to ease your child into reading for you if they are a little unsure of their skills. It gives them great confidence sharing the "work" with you and waiting for their turn to read. The pictures are wonderful so my younger child has just as much fun getting into the story.

This review is from: Hansel and Gretel (We Both Read - Level 1-2) (Paperback)
I got this for a little 3 yr old girl. She loves to have me or my wife read it to her. The pictures are fairly scary and Grimms appearing. A well done and fun little paperback.

This review is from: Hansel and Gretel (We Both Read - Level 1-2) (Paperback)
I was disappointed with the graphics in this book. I don't think that it's suitable for small children as it's not very bright and not very sharp. I bought it for my 4 years old son's birthday and had to put it away for when he's older. The story seems OK and it should be more useful when he starts to read - then we can both read it together.
