4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Learning to Read -- (3 Goats by M. Hillert), September 11, 2010
This review is from: The Three Goats (Hardcover)
Ms. Hillert's books are *GREAT*! I sat down with the expectation of reading them *to* my pre-kindergartener and I found that suddenly we were actually reading it together!

Wahoo-where Dick and Jane had failed to engage her attention and interest, `The Three Goats' did. I read the harder words (at first) and she was just took off reading the rest!

About the Book:

It is written for the youngest beginning readers-- the book suggests those who have 6-8 weeks under their belt. We had none.

There are 36 vocabulary words; the most complicated of which are `goats, three, something and funny'. (The rest are of the `see, the, go, up, down, I, look' variety.)

There are 22 pages most of which have 3 sentences that are usually 3 words long. These sentences are similar to those of Dick and Jane, but the story line is actually much more interesting, or so I am told. LOL.

That said, the story of Billy Goats Gruff is left limping with such simple sentences, so unless your child is familiar with the story you should read or tell them the full version beforehand.

Four Stars. The story is interesting to kids, and at this price it is a great addition to the home library.
