About the Author

School Zone Publishing Company began as The School Zone Learning Center in 1972. The Learning Center was a retail teachers supply outlet, specializing in sales to teachers, with two stores in Grand Rapids, Michigan. About 1974, schools instituted changes in educational methods that affected the home and schools. Changes included introducing new teaching methods in math and English and eliminating workbooks provided on a shared basis for home use. With these changes, parents experienced difficulty finding educational material for use at home. Local parents turned to the Learning Centers, requesting workbooks and other at-home teaching aids. In response, the Centers formulated six workbooks and printed 1,000 copies of each. The books sold out in six months. An expanded workbook series was developed and received equally enthusiastic acceptance. School Zone Publishing Company was incorporated in 1979. A new line of workbooks had been written and illustrated by late 1979. In January 1980, the line was printed and School Zone began operations. Market response was extremely favorable. The product line has expanded yearly and currently includes almost two hundred educational products. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm grateful for this book, June 11, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Want a Pet (School Zone Start to Read Book) (Paperback)
My son, 6 years old, was "on strike" from reading. This book brought him back. He loves reading it, loves looking at the pictures, loves the fact that he can read it by himself.

It is an intelligent, well-illustrated book, that speaks to kids' interests. The words are chosen carefully to be both accessible and challenging for early readers.

I've also bought other books in the series, and they are consistently excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words and Pictures, May 31, 2011
This very early reader is a delight for children and (secretly) for many adults. The very few words work beautifully with the pictures: together they illustrate the story of a child who wants a pet AND the story of the pet who wants to be wanted. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars So easy a 6 year old can read it!, September 25, 2008
This review is from: I Want a Pet (School Zone Start to Read Book) (Paperback)
This book is truly a "first " reader. Words are easy and a child can sound them out and feel good about actually reading the book. Sight reading from the colorful pictures is also easy, which makes it great for even a younger first reader. We read it over and over again. It is a favorite!
