Big Brown Bear (Green Light Readers)
This is a great beginning book. Ny first grader really enjoyed it. He was able to manage most of the words in the book, yet it was not too easy. He thought it was funny and enjoyed predicting what the bear would do next. He summed it up at the end by saying "this book was really cool!" ... Read more

Big, Cool Frog Pictures
This fun little book is filled with big, detailed image of frogs from every stage, from egg to frog, It does an excellent job at showing the different levels of growth of tadpoles. There are some nice shots of tadpoles with legs starting to sprout.

There are no more than 16 words per page, making it reader-friendly for ages 5-7.

I fully recommend "Where Do Frogs Come From."

what's in todd's box
Todd and his mom are on an outing.Todd is busy exploring the world around him and he tries to show his mom lots of things in nature but she is too busy to stop and look.He collects things like a rock, leaves, berries and pine cones. When he finally gets his mom to look in his box of goodies she is so surprised at the neat things he found.



The book is part of the green light readers series. Young children will feel a since of pride when completing the book. There are very few words per page and the story moves at a fast pace.
The book is great for readers who are learning to read on their own. The story ends but not the book. It has a craft idea and discussion questions to ask after reading. Todd's Box would make a great read aloud for story times and classrooms

Simple without being simplistic
The pictures are simple. The words are simple. On the surface, the plot is, too.Still, McPhail includes an important lesson in team work, helping others and handling difficult situations.

On opposite sides of a stream, Jack the rabbit and Rick the bear want to play together. Jack has a log on his side of the stream, Rick a jump rope. Jack and Rick work together to overcome obstacles to get on the same side of the stream.

The story is nicely done in a simple first reader. It tells an interesting tale in words an early reader can handle. It's a great combination. It's even one that my 2 1/2 year-old enjoys having read to him.All in all, the book is well done. ... Read more

Reading Recovery
One of the most important aspects to this new series of books, is that the texts are consistent with the type of book used in the Reading Recovery program.Previously, if you wanted supplemental books for your child thatwere predictable, had rhyming or repetitive text and real picture cues, youhad to wade through the lists made available, title by title.There arehundreds of books that fit this description, but it takes hours to searchfor individual books.Green Light Readers promises to publish strictlythis type of book.And the few I've seen are still current, use popularauthors and are lively and interesting.I hope the publisher takes thisidea even past the first two levels. ...
