Going to a Party

Usborne First Experiences

This series introduces young children, in an amusing and friendly way, to situations they might find themselves in for the first time. Stephen Cartwrights gently humorous illustrations are full of things for children to look at, learn from and talk about, and the simple text will enable slightly older children to read the books for themselves.

This book is excellent. This book has two separate versions which may be read independently or as a longer story. The version at the top of the page is a simple sentence version of the book and is approximately a first grade reading level. The version at the bottom of the page is a more complicated and detailed version of the book and is approximately a second or third grade reading level. A great way to read this book to a baby or toddler is to read only the top line. As the child gets older, read the bottom line as well. When the child starts to read, have them read the top line and you the bottom line. This will give them a great sense of accomplishment which is so important for success in reading. This is a book that can grow with your child. Don't forget to look for the duck on each page. Purchase this book at my Independent Consultant Website: www.ubah.com/s2995

Although normally an Usborne book fan, this didn't cut it for mommy or son. First, the title should read, "Going to a Costume Party," since a large focus was on the costume. I had to skip over this text and pretend they weren't all dressed up. I checked this out from the library for my son because he is going to a birthday party next month. He's now starting to get the sequence of what happens, and the details of party events such as buying a gift and taking the gift in, etc. The pictures were good colors and clear.

Super cute book.

There's a major continuity error when Larry Lamb's cat is present as Nellie and Ned Dunn open the invitation to Larry's "Monster Party." Once I put that behind me, I enjoyed it.
