5.0 out of 5 stars A Great First Book For Your New Reader, March 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fox on the Box (A School Zone Start to Read Book, Ages 4-7, Level 1) (Paperback)
This is the first book that my kindergarten son was able to read independently. After practicing with Level 1A books at school, he was so proud to be able to pick up this book and read it from start to finish. He got a big kick out of the surprise ending and has read it over and over to anyone who will listen--in person and on the phone. The sentence construction is very simple ("The fox sat on a box.") but it's a sweet, funny story that is enhanced by beautiful watercolor illustrations. Even our 15 month old daughter now loves to sit in his lap to have him read it to her. Although he'll outgrow it soon, his reading confidence has been helped a great deal by having books of his own that he can read. We're adding more of Barbara Gregorich's books to his library for just that reason. It's an easy investment to help him develop a lifelong love of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words with lots of pictures, April 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fox on the Box (A School Zone Start to Read Book, Ages 4-7, Level 1) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful first reading book.The book is structured so that there is a page with words and then a page with an illustration only. This structure gave my son a break from concentrating. Reading a book like this made his first reading experience enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good if you want your child to GUESS read, April 10, 2007
This review is from: The Fox on the Box (A School Zone Start to Read Book, Ages 4-7, Level 1) (Paperback)
I thought this book would be great but I was wrong. It has about six sentences in the whole book. Almost all of them are: The fox ____ on the box. The filler words are jumped, played, sat, ate, etc. The word "ate" is a sight word so they don't even sound it out. A reader that can read words with ed at the end are too far along to be reading a book with all the other words being the same on every page. A beginning reader will not know the ed ending and if you tell them then they know the whole book since it's almost the same on every page. This book is lame. Check out my much better review of BOB books. I reviewed set 3.
