</div><div style="color: black;"><b>Description:</b> Perhaps the perfect children's bedtime book, <i>Goodnight Moon</i> is a short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting to postpone--his own slumber. He says goodnight to every object in sight and within earshot, including the "quiet old lady whispering hush." Clement Hurd's illustrations are simple and effective, alternating between small ink drawings and wide, brightly colored views of the little rabbit's room. <br />
</div><div style="color: black;">Finding all of the items mentioned throughout the book within the pictures is a good bedtime activity--a reappearing little mouse is particularly pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn or two. (Picture book)<br />
</div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black;"><b>After Thoughts: </b>This is a baby book but I used to like when Mommy read it to me. It's easy to read by myself but I still like it better when Mommy reads it to me and my brothers. My favorite part is when Mommy reads it and she tells the old lady whispering "hush." She always makes us laugh. I liked reading about the three little bears sitting on chairs. I will read it again to Alex since he is a baby still.<br />

</div><div style="color: black;"><b>Description:</b> First published in 1963, <i>Hop on Pop</i> remains a perennial favorite when it comes to teaching kids to read. Here, as in most of his extensive body of work, Dr. Seuss creates uncomplicated, monosyllabic rhymes to foster learning and inspire children to read. But what was radical about this little book at the time of publication (and what makes it still compelling today) is Seuss's departure from the traditionally dull pictures and sentences used in reading primers. In contrast, the illustrations here are wild and wonderful, and the accompanying language, while simple, is delightfully silly. For example, the rhyme "THREE TREE / Three fish in a tree / Fish in a tree? / How can that be?" is brought to life with a trio of plump, self-satisfied fish perched atop globular branches as two stymied hybrid dog-rabbit-humanoids look on in consternation. <i>Hop on Pop</i> does much more than teach children the basics of word construction, it also introduces them to the incomparable pleasure of reading a book. <i>(Ages Baby to Preschooler)</i><br />

<b>Description:</b> Classic Dr. Suess! (Editorial Review) "A hilarious story for a first-grade pupil to read. Shows that reading can be fun even if the vocabulary is very limited."--Material Analysis Publications.</div>

<b>Mikey's Perspective: </b>"<span id="reviewTextContainer74864547"><span id="freeTextContainer17870039346122707256">It was a little hard but I liked it. My favorite part was when he went to the circus.</span></span>"<br />
<br />
<b>Mommy's Perspective:</b> A funny story that helps introduce younger children to colors. Your child will laugh at all the things this silly animal can do with his spots. This has a great rhythm to it as well which will have you acting it out with the kids which of course will give them even more giggles. A definite hit with my little ones.<br />
<br />
<br />
As a beginner reader this book introduces many words to a child with enough repetition and rhyming to help boost a young readers confidence yet challenging enough to keep them reading it time and time again.<br />
<br />
When we got the book it came with a stuffed animal and my boys still fight over "Spot" the beloved main character of the story.<br />
<br />
A good read for your child(ren)'s book shelf from a toddler through second grade. </div>

</div><div style="color: black;"><b>Description:</b> This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting readers ever since. Sam-I-am is as persistent as a telemarketer, changing as many variables as possible in the hopes of convincing the nameless skeptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savored. He tries every manner of presentation with this "nouveau cuisine"--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, with a goat, on a boat--to no avail. Then finally, <i>finally</i> the doubter caves under the tremendous pressure exerted by the tireless Sam-I-am. And guess what? Well, you probably know what happens, but even after reading <i>Green Eggs and Ham</i> the thousandth time, the climactic realization that green eggs and ham are "so good, so good, you see" is still a rush. As usual, kids will love Dr. Seuss's wacky rhymes and whimsical illustrations--and this time, they might even be so moved as to finally take a taste of their broccoli. <i>(Ages 4 to 8)</i><br />

Being a beginner reader book, it's probably a level 2, since it introduces a lot of digraph words mixed with first grade level sight words. With lots of repetition of words throughout the story, the child becomes a more confidant reader by the end.</span><br style="color: black;" /><br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black;">A must have for all boys who are starting to read!</span><span id="reviewTextContainer74815807"><span id="freeTextContainerreview74815807"> </span></span><br />
