    Book Review of Bob Books: First Stories and Bob Books: Animal Stories
    The Children’s Book Review

    The Bob Book boxed sets—First Stories and Animal Stories—are well-designed and enjoyable. They’re perfect for new and developing kindergarten readers.

    The graded reading approach in both sets works well to build reading confidence gently and gradually. Even better is the fact that these stories are carefully written to incorporate humor and unexpected twists that keep readers interested and enjoying the story. Simple, single-color sketches illustrate the stories, providing both more humor and clues to help readers decode the text.
