Reviews

[Lorellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

We're really loving this series. Will likely borrow them all from the library as our Pre-K year goes on.

27 months - O loved this book and I'm not totally sure why. We are working on pre-reading skills so this book was great to talk about hard c, soft c and ch words.

March 2012 - borrowed this one again for "C" week as we build our Alphabet book and do activities related to the letter "C". O still really likes this book, great for reviewing lots and lots of "C" words.

This book is about things that begin with the letter c. It has some animals that also begin with the letter c. The little girl invites all of the animals to a birthday party. It is good for new readers because the pictures can help them figure out what the more difficult words are.

Definitely not a book most adults would enjoy reading or even reading aloud with a child. The phrases can be repetitive, but I enjoyed the pictures and there certainly are a lot of C words for kids to learn.

I learned Canary starts with "C"

One of the better volumes that we've read out of this series.

[Miss Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

An adventure where a character called C goes around interacting with objects begining with C. Preschool and up nice word lists at end.

[Kiyoko · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books are not phonetic.
