5.0 out of 5 stars The Hundred Acre Woods Celebrates Mother's Day, August 4, 2005

This review is from: I Love You Mama (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)

Christopher Robin informs Roo that tomorrow is Mother's Day. Roo gets excited and exclaims he wants to give his Mama a surprise. Tigger overhears, and of course he loves surprises too! Next thing you know Pooh, Owl, Eeyore, Piglet, and Rabbit join with Christopher Robin, Tigger and Roo to throw a surprise party for Roo's Mama, Kanga.

At 32 pages, this delightful story portrays the excitement of giving. But more importantly, it also shows that who you are is much more important than what you have or what you are able to give.

This is Step Into Reading Level 2 book which means that it's geared towards pre-schoolers through Grade 1. For children who recognize some familiar words on sight and can sound out new words with help, I Love You, Mama! is just right for that level. Level 2 features basic vocabulary, short sentences and simple stories. However, this book from Random House is notably longer than its counterparts from Simon Says (who would categorize this book as Level 1).

My son asks me to read this book pretty often and is learning to sound out words himself. All in all, a great book for beginning readers.
