4.0 out of 5 stars
Good For Beginning Readers,
This review is from: TOM THUMB, SOFTCOVER, BEGINNING TO READ (BEGINNING-TO-READ BOOKS) (Paperback)
This little book was written for beginning readers. It contains 60 vocabulary words and approximately 21 pages with print (2 to 3 lines per page) and 6 pages with only pictures.The story follows Tom's adventures as various sorts of creatures mistake him for a meal. Tom is rescued from each situation and ultimately ends up with a king that treats him kindly; offering Tom an ornate chair and a mouse complete with saddle to carry him. Tom appreciates these things, but ultimately decides that he must return home where he is warmly welcomed by this parents. The sentences are better than those of Dick and Jane, but the story of Tom Thumb is definitely not completely explained by the text, so unless your child is familiar with the story you should read or tell them the full version beforehand. The artwork by Dennis Hockerman is nice and all-in-all this little book is not a bad purchase for a beginner reader if you can get it at a reasonable price.

By R.A. Bloom (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom Thumb (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Modern Curriculum Press Beginning to Read Series) (School & Library Binding)
Wonderful easy-to-read version of the classic Tom Thumb. The illustrations add so much to the story and help the children step into the make believe life of tiny Tom.
