Reviews
School Library Journal
“[B]eginning readers illustrated with clear, full-color photographs of people and props dramatically placed on all-white backgrounds. The book. . . feature twins Tim and Jim playing with their dog. . .The characters’ exaggerated expressions give the stories the feeling of a staged drama but provide readers with obvious picture clues. The controlled vocabulary, sight words, and use of rhyme and context clues (only a few of the words used are not pictured) make these phonics-based stories appropriate for just-beginning-to-read students. . . [I]ncludes practical suggestions for reading with children and helpful phonics guidelines. Parents and teachers who are always looking for more books at this level will be delighted with these titles, but kids especially will enjoy the simple antics of these characters and have successful reading experiences.”
