Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit workmanlike, but better than some leveled readers. Still not nearly as smart & creative as the author's A Bug, a Bear, and a Boy.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Precious little stories for beginning readers.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a pretty good transitional book between picture books and chapter books. It was easy enough for emerging readers to be able to read, and engaging enough for them to want read. I wasn't in love with the illustrations, but they were still pretty good.
