Product Description
Your kids can join over 100,000 happy children who say, "I read the whole book!" Bob Books were created specially for the youngest readers. Through the use of decodable text, they allow children a sense of accomplishment, not only in being able to read, but also in being able to finish an entire book. Written by Master Teacher B.L. Maslen, Bob Books are carefully graduated and introduce phonemic elements such as consonants, vowels, and blends in natural progression. Bob Books are the perfect way to bring kids, books, and adults together. All books have colorful covers and simple, amusing illustrations that will delight children and help instill a love of reading.

5 out of 5 stars Bob's Books   November 25, 2008
Rochelle M. Parra (Los Angeles, CA)
These books were great. My son read through them all in a week. I highly recommend these books.


4 out of 5 stars Good Starter Books   November 17, 2008
Kailua Books (Hawaii, USA)
My 5 year old needed something more interesting than the starter books he was reading and this series has been a good way to add some variety. I do wish the pictures were more colorful, however.


4 out of 5 stars My son feels like a big boy   November 10, 2008
Retro_Child (Kenai, AK USA)
I bought these books because my son loves to read. He has been reading simple "stories" that I write on the computer but never real books of his own. When these came he just whizzed through the first series. I took them to his Kindergarden class because they were too easy for him. One to Series 2 and 3. These offered a bit more challenge and he loves them. br / br /The stories really aren't that interesting. I believe he would agree. Each night he gets to read a book to me then I read a book to him. He feels much more involved in bedtime storytime. br / br /Great series.


3 out of 5 stars Good second set... but you may not need it   September 16, 2008
Nicki Heskin (Southern California)
I give this only three stars, but not because there's anything wrong with it. It's just that, if your child is really ready to read, the first set will definitely give them the tools to do so. But once they grasp the "key to castle" of sounding out that that first set delivers, they may be ready for a bigger leap than this second set offers. br / br /We did the first set with our daughter, but then we never got more than a book or two into this one before she was picking up lots of other books we had around and checking easy readers out of the library, and completely lost interest in these. We definitely never considered any sets beyond this one. br / br /I'd recommend the first box, but then as soon as they grasp that they CAN read, if they are anything like my daughter, kids are going to want something with more of a story. I'd recommend the Max the Cat series readers, they have more of a story to each little book, but the same difficulty levels as the Bob books. They are listed on Amazon as Phonics Practice Readers: Series A, Set 1/10 Reader's Plus Teacher's Guide


5 out of 5 stars excellent encouragement for beginning readers   June 15, 2008
Elle Mel (Michigan, USA)
The Bob book series are excellent for encouraging very beginning readers. Each page has only a few words and kids who are just beginning to sound out and read the stories. This makes them want to keep learning. The only thing to watch out for is kids sometimes memorize the books if they read only one or two over and over so you need to mix them up to have them actually read the books. br / br /I've been using these with my 4 and 5 year olds and they both love them.
