We have Level 2, "Amazing Animals." It focusses on long vowel sounds. A sample sentence is "This boat won't float." Another is: "The pike swipes a vine." There are ten booklets, each focussing on a different animal. The illustrations are colorful and cute.
I brought this out a little too late and it was a little easy for my son. But it was still definitely worth it.

A great phonic book set. I really appreciate how consistent the book are with the focus sounds, without being overly repetitious. It explores other vowel pairs that make the same long sounds.
