Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Who would have guessed one could identify so closely with a worm? In the four eight-page stories of Wow, It's Worm!, this green-striped invertebrate's small daily adventures are entirely recognizable to any young human reader. In one story, Worm compares himself to his friends and decides he's just right the way he is. In another episode, Worm is so hot that he has to keep finding more fans to cool down. He also watches movies and builds towers with his blocks. Brand New Readers is an utterly charming series introducing young children to the joys of reading. Each slim case contains four short paperback stories with colorful, funny pictures and just one sentence per page, so even new or reluctant readers can be successful at reading right away. A page of valuable tips shows teachers and parents how to help their brand-new readers master these skills. Other titles in the series include Piggy and Dad, Winnie All Day Long, and Here Comes Tabby Cat. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Our favorite brand new readers set, January 3, 2005

This review is from: Wow, It's Worm!: Just Right, Worm Watches, Worm Is Hot, and Worm Builds (Brand New Readers Boxed Set) (Paperback)

All of the books in the Brand New Readers series are great and they are just right for the child who is learning to read. Darling illustrations and fun animal characters grab the interest of the young reader from the beginning. The books are short and there are 4 in a set so your child feels a real sense of accomplishment when finishing a set of these books.

Wow! It's Worm! is our favorite set of these books. We think worm is a funny little guy and my daughter laughed out loud when she read these books to me. We especially love the one about Worm watching movies, very cute!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! What a WORM!!!, September 2, 2007

This review is from: Wow, It's Worm!: Just Right, Worm Watches, Worm Is Hot, and Worm Builds (Brand New Readers Boxed Set) (Paperback)

Okay folks....start shaking the pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters out of your piggie banks! Go get the boxed set of Worm books! He's funny! He's inventive! He's industrious! He's just flat out terrific!!!
I've used this boxed set with second graders, high school special education students, and college students as writing prompts and as a writing style to imitate using other characters and situations. I laugh every time I read these books and the students I've worked with have laughed too. One second grader said we should write the author to let her know what a great job they did!!! Fantastic stories! Great books for English Language Learners....the humor shines through even if the readers don't read a word of English. Buy the box....you will be WOWED! Termite is also another fun character the author has created.

Well Done, Worm!: Brand New Readers

This review is from: Wow, It's Worm!: Just Right, Worm Watches, Worm Is Hot, and Worm Builds (Brand New Readers Boxed Set) (Paperback)

A great little set of 4 books. Bright illustrations with witty humor and short predictive sentences. Builds self-esteem whether the child can read or not as it is easily memorized by younger children. For beginning readers, it provides a sense of accomplishment as all 4 can be read (by the child) in one sitting. I used this set when my daughter was beginning to read and she just loved worm. We ended up getting most of the books in this Brand New Readers set. The style feels more like it's geared towards sight reading with predictive word patterns and assisting illustrations, as opposed to phonics. I love all of these books.
