Book Review- Grade one

From We Both Read. This is an excellent series of books for new readers. It gets parents involved in reading with their child. The parent reads one side of the book, their child the other. They have lots of hard and soft back books to choice from. I've seen We Both Read books in numerous libraries. You can also buy them online and at some books stores.

For grade one: "About Pets," by Sindy McKay. Color photographs of various pets with words. There are different pictures of pets, but more are of cute dogs than any other animal. A dog howling with his master. A dog getting a bath. A dog catching a freebie. A dog with a leash in its mouth looking out a window. A dog stealing a piece of bread from the kitchen counter. Since many children in America like to look at pictures of dogs I can see having more photos of them in the book.
