One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself)
Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
What more can be said about a Classic Dr. Seuss?
I purchased this for my granddaughter because my daughter wanted to read it to her! So, I think I bought it for both of them.
All my children were raised on this and the other classic Dr. Seuss books. It's a fun thing to read for young and old. It gets the giggles ...

Fancy Nancy Sees Stars (I Can Read Book 1)
Jane O'connor
HarperTrophy, 2008
A little more advanced - in a good way
My daughter was born in March, 2002. She's now 6 and a half. We didn't discover Fancy Nancy until Feb 2007, so she was about 5. It's been a little disappointing for this series to come out as she is outgrowing it. The stories are cute but a little simple for a ...

excellent encouragement for beginning readers
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 ...

Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook
Martha Stewart
Clarkson Potter, 2008
a must have for beginners like me
I enjoy cooking but often when I find recipes to make they are very complicated with a lot of ingrediants and do not give very good directions. This book explained so much to me and I often use it as a reference when I don't know how to do something. All the recipes ...

What is there not to like about Fancy Nancy! Since this series began, young readers (and their parents) have held in their hands someone precious and pretty and sweet and fancy. The artwork is simply adorable and utterly feminine in depicting the precious and ...
