My First Bob Books Pre-Reader Collection: Alphabet and Pre-Reading Skills

Bob Books Costco Collections

by Lynn Maslen Kertell, John R. Maslen (Illustrator), Sue Hendra (Illustrator)

In partnership with Costco and Scholastic, Bob Books offers Bob Books Special Collections. They are not stocked year round, but as seasonal offerings on Costco's book and media aisles. They are usually offered two to three times a year. When we learn that they are in stock, we notify the Bob Books Facebook group.

You will not be able to find The Collections at Barnes and Noble, Amazon or your favorite bookstore. They're only available at Costco. And they are available while supplies last, so be sure to get them before they're gone.


Collection 1 has 18 books, including all the stories from Set 1, and half of Set 2.
Collection 2 has 16 books, including stories from half of Set 2, and all of Set 3.
Collection 3 has 16 books, and includes all the stories from Sets 4 and 5.
The My First Bob Books Collection has 24 books, including all stories from My First Bob Books: Alphabet and My First Bob Books: Pre-Reading Skills.
NEW! Bob Books Sight Words has 20 books and 16 flash cards, including all stories from Bob Books Sight Words-Kindergarten and Bob Books Sight Words - First Grade.

The five Special Collection boxes contain the original Bob Books materials boxed and reprinted in beautiful, oversized, 8 x 8 inch format. Many customers enjoy the large format for small hands, and they love the terrific price offered by Costco.

Each box also contains bonus stickers, bookmark and door hanger.

Look out for the Special Collections on the shelves of your local Costco store!

Happy shopping!

This set of Bob books is one the parent or other adult would read to the child. It’s main focus is teaching children shapes, sorting, patterns, and sequencing to get them ready to read. The 12 books include: learning simple shapes, finding hidden shapes, matching shapes, learning simple sorting, matching and sorting, sorting and classifying, learning simple patterns, changing patterns, building complex patterns, learning simple sequences, predicting sequences, and building longer sequences. These are a very great set of books to get kids interested in reading and tuning the brain into patterns and thinking about the text and pictures.

For an older kid (4-6), most of the time spent reading these books were on the last three that focused on engaging the brain in predicting what may happen next.

A child that is already good with reading, shapes, patterns, and sequences this set may be passed.
