What I See: A Heartwarming Early Reader with Bold Illustrations About Daily Wonders for Kids (Ages 4-7)

Green Light Readers Level 1

by Holly Keller

What surprises do you see in the pictures? A pretty red rose and a bunny’s pink nose. A spinning top and a dripping mop. An inquisitive young boy discovers that there are many wonderful things--some familiar, some surprising--to see at his house. He discovers, too, that seeing means opening your eyes to the world around you. In this young early reader, Holly Keller’s simple rhyming text and bold illustrations turn everyday visions into heartwarming reveries.

This is a very basic level 1 reader. So if you have a beginning reader this would be a good book to get for them to read on their own and soon help boost their self esteem. Each page is "I see a ----" and it could be a rose and next page nose....then top and next page mop. And each page has simple items on the page so, as I did while reading to my 2 year old granddaughter. She could point to each item and repeat the word to me. The illustration of a top would be a toy laying on a window sill...then the next illustration asking for "I see a mop" is an illustration of a mop leaning against the wall with a top and ball and another toy laying in the floor beside the mop. So you can not only ask to have the child point to the mop but then have them pick out the top that they just picked out on the previous page.

I rated this a 2 star simply because I was looking for a storybook; and this isn't one. BUT it would be a great 'text book' for homeschooled children or just people looking to help younger beginning readers.

This book more was a beinning book for one that really just now reading. This book asked you at the end of it what else do you see other the object that they were talking about. Asked to go and see what else you see about the pictures in the book.

Frank really liked this, and I thought it was probably a good book for learning to read. It's repetitive without being totally ambiguous like a lot of learn to read books are.
