Exceptional Bible for children
Zondervan has always been known for its excellent products and this is no exception. What a wonderful Bible for kids ages 5-12, and even for adults! Written at a third garde reading level, this Bible is easy to understand and I enjoyed reading the answers to questions that kids (and yes, even adults) ask about God, heaven, and the world around them. The use of blue and red for the print is eye catching and easy on the eyes (and yes, much less boring too) The illustrations are cute and made me smile often. A dictionary and topical index is included. Parents and grandparents, no need to hesitate on the purchase of this particular Bible. Much time and effort has been expended to make it as easy to understand while being true to the original text as possible.I even recommend this to adults who find themselves confused by other versions. ...

Another Nice Primer - a review of "I Am Mad!"
This is a Level 1 reader (for "children who are just beginning to read") in the Real Kids Readers series.If you are not familiar with the series it is photo based, which means that there are large, bright photos of children, pets, and adults that give `clues' as to what the story is about.Expressions are generally exaggerated so that even young children can figure out what the actors are thinking.

Fun learning and easy reading for children and parents!
I thought that, "The Pet Vet",was put together very well.The words are clear and concise for children.This makes it easier for parents to teach their children to read and understand.The pictures thataccompany the reading material are adorable...the little girl on the coveris a cutie- patooty!Maybe you can use some of these children over again,so our children have regular characters to relate to throughout theirlearning journey.

The Real Kid Readers series comes through again.
For beginners, the books couldn't be better. They are colorful and well written..enticing the youngsters to read. ... Read more

A Good Beginning Reader - a review of "Best Friends"
Okay, this probably won't be a book that boys will love, but it is another nice beginning reader from the "Real Kids Reader" series.
It's the Best
Not only is Best Friends a wonderful first reader, it teaches the wonderful value of acceptance as well.The book focuses on the positiveaspects of being different from ones friends.It was a great tool inteaching my daughter that being best friends does not mean having to haveeverything alike.Like the other books in the series, it has fabulouscontent while remaining a "true" first reader. ...

An Okay Beginning Reader - a review of "I Like Mess"
My 5.5 year old daughter and I have read a flock of these "Real Kids Readers" lately (with little brother looking on) and I have to say that this was not one of our favorites.Nothing intrinsically wrong with it, but the story of a girl and her mess was just not for us.
Pre-readers love it too!
My three year old twins love this book.They pour over the photographs.They puzzle over the vocabulary (the older sister, Jill is a 'pill'It was a challenge to figure out how to explain that to three year olds!I settled on 'an annoying person') A little gem
We bought this book along with several other first readers recommended by a library. This is my favourite. My son likes reading it, and I still enjoy reading it with him. It makes us both laugh - sometimes a few simple words can really capture a great little story. ... Read more

A Good Book for Beginning Readers - a review of "Get the Ball, Slim"
This is a very nice beginning reader that doesn't move too fast verbally.The subject is two boys playing with their dog.The pictures are clear and fun and bound to be interesting to most children.
Fabulous First Reader
Like the other books in this series, Get the Ball, Slim, is a terrific book.Other so-called first readers seem to be too advanced for the truebeginner.Get the Ball, Slim, contains short, easy words that any trueearly reader can grasp.Sight words are incorporated with phonetic wordsand repetition makes this, as well as other books in the series, a pleasureto read for the true beginner. ...

Not a Beginning Reader for Everyone - a review of "Dan and Dan"
These `Real Kids Readers' are generally pretty good and the series does a better job than most in being *Level* accurate.For example, in this book which is Level One, the sentences are short, simple and in large print.The word selection as well, is very good for beginners.
Sure beats Run Spot Run
Now my 5 and 6-year-old kids can read me book. An easy reader that kid's find interesting. This book has a great combination of simple phonics, repetitive words, and a well-illustrated story. I look forward to seeingthe other Real Kids Readers, Level 1 books.

an amusing story of a boy and his granddad

She's helping us!
After working for and reading this book, she has been helping us a lot around the house, including washing dishes. Helping is learning and fun.

Great Beginning Reader - a review of "My Pal Al"
The `Real Kids Readers' are very good for 'real' beginning readers.The Level 1 books actually have simple, short sentences which are presented in large easy type.The word selection, as well, is very good for beginners. Words in this book include:fur, red, small, big, likes, sit, up, bed, fat, flat, skip, hop, and the like.
My Pal, Al(Real Kids Readers, Level 1)
I am a homeschooling mom and was so thrilled to find this series!Once your child has mastered three-letter words and some sight words, they can begin with Real Kids Readers.My daughter was ecstatic to say, "Mom,I read a whole book myself!" for the first time with My Pal, Al.Inthe story, a young girl describes her best pal, a stuffed rabbit, and allthe fun they have together.The photos are bright and cheery, withoutgiving too many hints to the text.This has the feel of a real book andhas a story line that won't insult your 5-7 yr. old's intelligence.No"See Jane run!" here!We love this book and all in the series.

Great for beginning readers
