The texts in these books are easy to understand and to follow, plus they’re really engaging. As a child’s reading level progresses, the books contain fewer illustrations and more text, like what we’ve seen in the book about the toad and the frog. Still, they kept it fun by using wordplay on the text! Overall, it’s a good subscription to encourage kids to read, especially if you have an emerging reader at home!
