5.0 out of 5 starsThis little mouse is so much fun!
By Amy Jester on April 5, 2002
Format: Paperback
Don't let the subtitle, "A Phonics Reader," scare you. Your kids will love this book. This action-packed, sound-effect filled, little book will delight as well as instruct. I have given this book as a gift and my friends tell me that their kids (2 and 4) ask for "mouse" again and again. They love to identify the moving letters and to repeat the new rhyming words. It is a wonderfully simple book for children who are just beginning to read on their own. I highly recommend it. I am excited to see that another book with the same character is coming out soon. I am looking forward to being able to give more "mouse" books as gifts in the future.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Rhyming Phonics Book
By Janet Boyer HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on August 4, 2005
Format: Paperback
"Mouse is busy, mouse is fast--grabbing letters as he runs past. He finds new ways to make a rhyme by switching letters every time." --from the book

Contrary to the incorrect information given by both of the Editorial Reviews, Mouse Makes Words is a Step 1 book in the Random House Step Into Reading line which means that it is geared towards children in pre-school and kindergarten. If your child knows the alphabet and is eager to begin reading, Step 1 books like Mouse Makes Words are a great start.

This Phonics Reader playfully explores initial sounds substitution and short vowel sounds by using rhyming word pairs. With its big type, easy words, picture clues, rhyme and rhythm, Mouse Makes Words is an engaging book for learning words such as net, pet, ten, hen, wig, pig, pot, cot, bug, hug, and more.

My son requests this book every once in awhile and the simplied format really helped reinforce simple word recognition, rhyming, and sounding out words.

5.0 out of 5 starsA favorite I wish I had when I was learning to read
By mom of 4 on December 12, 2007
Format: Paperback
My daughter LOVES mouse and his books. This was our first mouse book and it got us hooked on this clever little seriers. We have bought them all and wish there were more. Mouse makes reading concepts very fun and very easy to grasp. I home school and have shown these books to my other homeschooling friends. They have all been amazed at how cheap they are and how much information they deliver in a easy fun way.

3.0 out of 5 starsWanted to love it...
By JKJ on June 11, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
It's a cute book in theory, but they have pictures of the words (i.e. here's a WIG (shows a wig), take away the W, add a P, now you have PIG (shows a picture of a pig). So, he's not learning to read as much as identfy the words with the pictures. It's not my favorite learn to read book, but my 3-yr old lieks it so we kept it.

2.0 out of 5 starsThere are better books out there.
By Jackson Family Reviews on December 28, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A Jackson Family Review:
Pros: Cute, nice pictures, large letters.
Cons: The story really makes no sense.
Overview: This is a cute book, but I don't like that the story (or lack of story) makes no sense and I feel the pictures confuse the reader as your reading it.
Jackson Family Recommendation: No, I read it once and just don't like the book.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother Great Step Into Reading Phonics Reader
By Reading Fanatic on January 7, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a super cute rhyming story about a mouse that makes 3 letter words. The story is sure to capture the imagination of any little one. Both my 6 year old and my 3 year old love this book. I purchased it a couple years ago when my daughter was 4. At the time of purchase, she was already familiar with the alphabet and all the letter sounds. With the aid of this book she was quickly able to grasp the concept of phonetic reading. Today, she still enjoys this story and loves reading it to her little brother. I highly recommend the Step Into Reading, Step 1, phonetic readers for and little one who is new to the world of reading. This particular story is cute and engaging and is very nicely illustrated.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent early readers!
By Z Hayes HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWER on February 12, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I purchased these books for my 5-year-old daughter who is beginning to read on her own and these Step Into Reading books are excellent as they have a high-interest factor that motivates her to read. The stories are also wonderfully illustrated in full color. The story here is about a cute little mouse that finds letters and makes words out of them. It is a fun reading experience as children get to sound out the letters and then see how the letters can be manipulated to make words.

These Step 1 series are recommended for preschool-K - the stories are in large type and the vocabulary is easy. The stories are also in a rhyming format which makes them easy and fun to read. The full color pictures also provide contextual clues as to the word being used in the text. These early readers have raised my daughter's confidence level in reading, and she is doing so well that I'm purchasing the Step Two books (Preschool-Grade 1). I use these books in conjunction with sight words to reinforce her recognition of common vocabulary.
