Not for a beginning reader
Because these are from the same company and packaged in the same way AND part of the same series, you might think these would be easy to read books for beginning readers, much like the Biscuit Phonics books. They AREN"T. I'm a kindergarten teacher and was looking for more books for my class in the Guided Reading level A or B -- these are MUCH more advanced than that. I think they are poorly designed because by the time a child would be reading well enough to read these, they are not going to want to read little "starter" books that look like the Bob books or early leveled library books. I was upset that they sold them as "Phonics" books because they are in no way phonics books aimed at kids just beginning to sound out words.
