Summary: bob books wow
Review: I have been looking for books that my son could read completely by himself. The Bob Books sets start with just 3 letter short vowel sounds...perfect for giving your child the confidence and acomplishment of reading an entire book. The look on his face was the best review!

Summary: I love Bob Books too -Reading specialist
Review: I'm a reading specialist and author ("Teaching Kids To Read for Dummies"). Just in case you have any lingering doubts about trying out these great little books -my job is to start kids reading (even if they've failed before) and I use Bob Books all the time. The illustrations are a great plus for me because they're cartoonish and so appeal even to kids who are starting to read later than classmates.

Summary: Great for beginning readers
Review: If your child knows all his or her sounds of the basic 26 letters of the alphabet, your child can most likely read all of the books in this packet.

These are small easy to read books. The picture add to the text but do not distract from the purpose of this book, reading. The stories are short and easy to read. They are entertaining and usually have a bit of something off beat in them.

My son was four when he began working on reading the bob books by himself. They gave him success in way that other books could not. He was able to sound out the simple words and read alone. Because there is only one line on the page, he did not get lost accidently jumping from line to line. He particularly liked that they were not boring like the others my mother had- one vowel books (Up Pup, jump).

Enjoy.
Worth Every penny.

Summary: Ah! What a child friendly book this is.
Review: In an attempt to read, my 5 year old would come to me a hundred times a day with some book or the other and ask,'what does this say, mommy?' As it is, I was already looking around for a good reading material her age and thankfully came across Bob Books Kids. Believe me, if you are trying to teach your child to be an independent reader, then this is just the thing for you. Bob books comes in a small box with such fun to do things like activity books and finger puppets besides palm size reading books. With just a few, small one-line sentences in each story, my daughter could finish one book in no time and was jumping up and down. To finish one book is a big achievement for any child her age and the fact that she was motivated to read more, made me like Bob books even more.Your child can even color the pictures given in these books. I would mention however that your child should have some knowledge of phonics,before he/she attempts these books.You don't want to frustrate the child. I would therefore suggest workbooks by American Education publishing on Phonics and reading. To further hold their attention, try mispronouncing easy words given in the books like Barb, Mop etc. and let them correct you. I would instantly get my daughter's attention back. Finally if you can ignore some uncommon words used in these books, you would be fine. Happy Teaching reading!

Summary: A great tool for learning to read
Review: My 5 year old started with the "Bob" series the summer before kindergarten. By the beginning of school, he had gone through 4 out of 6 of the sets, although he still likes to go back to the eariler ones to re-read the books. He loves them and is so pleased with himself for being able to read his own books. This is a great way for young children to learn to read. I highly recommend the entire series.

Summary: Great first readers
Review: My five year old son was becoming very frustrated with trying to read the supposed "first readers" at our library. I was equally frustrated, as some of them even included contractions which are very confusing for a beginner reader! The Bob Books are truly for the first time reader. My son was able to sound out the words and start to feel good about his ability to learn to read. I definitely recommend these books as the ultimate starting point for helping your child to learn to read!

Summary: Excellent First Reader books
Review: My neighbor let me borrow this particular set of Bob Books when I mentioned that our 6-year-old was still struggling with reading simple words. I had never heard of Bob Books before, but I have since bought 2 more sets! My daughter enjoys the stories and loves reading books to her sister, father and me. It really boosted her self-confidence and I feel she's better prepared for entering 1st grade this fall. I will definitely recommend these books to other parents.

Summary: Make "Bob" a part of your young child's early reading!
Review: The Bob books are superior early reading books. They are gentle stories, using a tight, controlled vocabulary and delightfully simple line drawings for illustrations. I have used these books, for years, for independent reading for my first grade students and my own child as well. These wonderful, little books are appealing to young children, more so than any other books that I have seen. You and your young ones will love the Bob books!
