rd

Street, New York NY10022.
Age: 4 to 8
What's wonderful about it is that it not only teaches the kids all they
need to know, but it's set in a classroom.
The process is seen through the children's eyes as they experience the
excitement of observing the wiggly caterpillar, watch it molt, change
into a chrysalis, endure the endless waiting, and stare in wonder as a
Painted Lady butterfly emerges and dries its wings. The closing pages
show the class at the window watching the insect pause on a flower
before flying away to begin the life cycle once again.

Book, explores the concept of what vision is, who has it, and why it's
important. At the same time, he has created a book with an extremely
small number of words (almost all of one syllable) and maximum
amount of repetition to make memorizing and learning to read the
book as simple as possible. The book then uses the idea of seeing to
add simple words, along with their images in order to help with word
decoding. The words introduced include blue, red, bird, bed, sun,
moon, fork, knife, spoon, girl, man, boy, horse, tin can, holes, poles,
trees, clocks, bees, rocks, flies, ants, pink, underpants, rings, strings,
rain, pie, dogs, and airplanes.

Street New York, NY 10022
Age: 3 to 6
Each of the pages contains simple, color drawings with only a few
words that are typically a part of a longer sentence that you must turn
the page several times to finish. I guess the good news for anyone that
is annoyed by having a single sentence stretched out over several
pages is that you need not dwell on each page for long since the
pictures are simplistic enough to take in at a glance.
