Children's Literature
Curious George has delighted young readers since his inception in 1941. This new series targets a slightly younger audience and is designed to help children learn to read. The books come with tips for using the program and suggestions for "further phonics fun". Many of these tips, such as looking for letters and words at the grocery store or in the pantry, are easy to implement, even in busy family life. The instructions for using the program are helpful, and while they present a peaceful and happy reading experience that may or may not actually happen with each individual family, they certainly represent a positive reading experience. The illustrations are colorful, simple, and clearly illustrate the accompanying words, which are printed in a large, easy to read font, making this book an ideal choice for children learning to read. The pages inside the book are thin and may tear easily, but careful readers should get many delightful readings from each book in this series. Reviewer: Meagan Albright
