Reviews

[Alexandria · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the boys I babysit is in speech therapy, so I picked up this up to read to him as an add-on. He got bored with it after the first few pages, but I think that had more to do with the fact that this was the third book of its kind that I had brought him.

The story itself was alright and playing "seek and find" for pictures beginning with "N" can keep the child's interest a bit longer. Overall, it's a midline somewhat interesting book.

I like that this series introduce the child to the letter sound. I don't know of another series that does this. This series goes great with the "letter people" songs.

A preschool and up book about a young girl called n collecting things that start with an N and having an adventure along the way.

This book is OK. My five-year-old son was pretty excited that he could read the title on his own, but that was about all that got him excited.
