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

Flying High on "The New Red Bed"!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Red Bed (We Both Read - Level 1 (Quality)) (Paperback)
As a third grade teacher and a parent of a kindergartener I am always looking for exciting books for beginner readers. "The New Red Bed" is full of adventure and make believe. It is not only the type of story that children will love, but it's also a unique design for helping your reader gain more confidence. This book is designed for shared reading, with parent as well as child pages. A "flying high" idea if you ask me.

This review is from: The New Red Bed (We Both Read - Level 1 (Quality)) (Paperback)
As a special services director at a small Catholic school, I am always looking for books that give students success in reading. This series has been a favorite for myself and the teachers on staff. Works really well both at school and home.
