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!

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
Termite Trouble: Brand New Readers

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.

This book builds self-esteem because it is easier than most "I Can Read" books, and so a first grader who is struggling with reading gets both honest success and some funny pictures and words. My little grand-daughter reads it again and again and still laughs every time! Worm is just a funny guy. Youngsters deserve to have fun while they succeed -- a great early reader book!

These books are certainly thin. The pictures are cute. It is certainly for the very beginner reader. If your child is already reading a little bit, you might be disappointed with these books, but if he or she is brand new at this skill, these books should be added to your library. My son likes me to read to him while on the potty, these books are helping him to read to himself while there. That's 2 pluses to me. LOL
