Quite boring, not enough about Sam’s background! And why did Sam’s friend Mat sit on top of them?? Lots of unanswered questions here. Absolute snoozefest.

This book is a work of art if you have kids or if you don't. The lengthy sentence structure helps the reader build sentence and vocabulary skills. As the reader, I was left with a few questions. Near the end of the book we see Mat sit on the cat. I am left wondering the state of the cat and would like answers. Is the cat okay? Is Sam okay? I would also like to know if Sam is okay with Mat sitting on him as I would like to know that and children reading this book are being taught the proper steps of asking for consent before sitting on someone/ being sat on. Overall, this book was a rollercoaster of emotions and I will be reading again. Keep up the great work!

Child has learned that "Sam and cat" is a sentence. But is it?

Have young readers? Grab these books. Short length and rhyme make it an easy read for teaching new readers to read.

I was so happy to be able to read this book! I like to read it over and over, and its good because it has a cat and a dog in it.

This is the second book my 3 year old mastered. I highly recommend BOB BOOKS Set 1 for beginning readers.
