You've prepared your child for reading - refrigerator magnets down low and easy to reach; letter sounds taught. Your child can proudly spell his or her name. Perhaps he can identify the "stop" and "open" signs as you drive in your car. He or she is ready for the next step into reading.

Inside the colorful box, the bright red cover beckons. On the first page, the letters:
M - a - t. Your child says the sounds: mmmmm, aaa, ttt. Then, faster: "Mat." Your youngster has read his first word! "Sam", "sat" and "on" complete the vocabulary, and suddenly your child can say, "I read the whole book!(tm)" That is the magic of Bob Books.

After 13 years of teaching 3, 4 and 5-year-olds, watching a child make that giant first step into reading still thrills me. The pride in their eyes, their triumphant grasp of a difficult concept, and opening their world to the excitement of books and reading, has brought me many years of satisfaction.

Bob Books were specifically designed to facilitate that ah-ha moment, when letters first turn into words. By slowly introducing new letter sounds, using consistency and repetition, and stories that fit short attention spans, your child will quickly find his or her own ah-ha moment.

We wish your young learner much success and happiness as he or she enters the great adventure of reading.

Customer Reviews

Bob does it again!!
My son started with the first set of Bob Books and we were thrilled. We then moved to this set which continued on where the first left off. Slightly tougher words, slightly longer pages, and new concepts gently introduced. My son LOVES his Bob books!

Two similar sets
I liked this set but unfortunatly it contained many of the same books as the first set, which we already have. I think they could have done it a little differently. If I had it to do over again I would have either skipped this set or started off with this one and skipped the first one.

The greatness continues...
We are so pleased with these books. My son started with set one and could read tentatively through that set. By the time we got to set two, his confidence increased so much that he zoomed right through this set with hardly any problems. We love the consistent sound patterns and consistent level of difficulty. And we both really get a kick out of the simple picutures that go along with the stories!
