Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 1-Each book has four tales, all preceded by an introduction that tells what the story is about. A "Helping Your Brand-New Reader" page explains how to share these entries with the youngest readers. In the first title, the orange-striped feline searches for a mouse, plays with some yarn, wakes the African-American boy with whom she lives, and hides in a drawer. In the second volume, the mischievous Tabby chases things, hunts for food, swats some vegetables, and washes herself. The illustrations provide good context clues and mirror the humor of the texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here Comes A New Reader, November 21, 2000

By 

Manuel Ojeda (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Here Comes Tabby Cat: Brand New Readers (Paperback)

An incredible begining book for a first time reader. My daughter 4 yrs. old picked it up and began reading, really reading for the first time. The relationship of words and illustrations make the book easily understandable, fun to look at and easy to follow along with for first time readers. After I bought this set of books I went back and purchased them all. Highly recommend this for first time readers. A smile will show you why.

This review is from: Here Comes Tabby Cat: Brand New Readers (Paperback)

There are a lot of beginning reader books out there, but these are the best ones I have found to really help my daughter feel good about reading.

I bought the whole series of these Brand New Readers books for my daughter because she has felt so successful with them. These are books that she can read and she loves the confidence that comes with that. The characters are cute and the stories are simple but fun. We have read these books many times and always enjoy them.
