Is Indian the only word they could think of with an “I”?!

What is good about this book: This book is great for phonics because it focuses on the sound of one letter. The book is also good in that is manages to tell something of a story while doing that.
What is not so good about this book: The illustrations. Maybe at one time the illustrations were appropriate, but now they just seem dated and a bit creepy.
