[Rod Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

A box full of twelve little 16-page books about a father and son having gentle slice-of-life moments. The text is probably decent practice for someone working on phonics, but they're pretty boring stories to read through from a literary standpoint. My family has held onto this box set for twenty years, but it is basically in mint condition because my daughter never really went back to it after we read through it together the first time when she was four.

Rereading them now was pretty dull, but at least I got to clean up the Goodreads records and the series page. I'm always happy to be cataloguing.

these are for beginning readers - I don't know what it is about these extremely simple stories, but my kid is glued to them as I read them.

Scripted and patterned but my kindergartner thinks the stories are funny at the end. It incorporates rhyming words in an interesting and engaging way without being choppy to read. Good for end-of- kindergartner-going-into-1st-grade readers learning to read.
