My daughter loved that she could read with me by looking at the pictures.

I am only familiar with a handful of rebus readers. I would like to see the label for the various pictures under at least the first appearance of each picture. This one was pretty cute and included both male and female characters.

I'm still not sure how I feel about picture readers in concept. However, my son is REALLY into this concept and is reading with me outloud. That can't be bad, right?
