great for early readers!

[Schmobes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good level one. Good to compare "oo" and "ue" ("cool" and "blue").

[Amy Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rookie Reader Level B. 26 words. AR 0.7 Different sentence structures but still short sentences and word repetition. A few quotes.

[Elise · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great book for introducing the purple color and what two primary colors it is made out of. Good rhyming concept and repetition.
