About the author
David Martin
46 books15 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.
Readers of David Martin's books won't be surprised when they meet the author and find that he is just as entertaining as his books - he sings, plays the guitar or the kazoo, or even juggles during his school visits. As David Martin says, "I have never minded particularly making a fool of myself," so he is never at a loss to illustrate his points or to make a connection with the kids. In his interactive sessions, he also works with students to create their own books or to produce oversized class books. The author's ease in the classroom comes from his hands-on teaching experience: he's an eighteen-year veteran of elementary and middle schools.
A native of Queens, Martin has lived in northeast Vermont with his family since 1970.

This is one of the Brand New Readers Series. I like that this series has four simple stories, each one with an introduction that the adult reads to scaffold text comprehension. The intros actually completely give away the plot, but make the leap to reading easier for the child. The illustrations are colorful--better than BOB, not as detailed and skillful as My First Reader.
Repetition is the method, similar to the MFR series. There is no word bank, and there are multisyllabic words, silent e's, long vowels--all hurdles. But the pictures clearly illustrate the action.
We've read several of these, all by different authors, and though all use humor, I like this author, David Martin, best, so I'm going to seek his books out when I check the next group out of the library.
