A whole book of everybody saying hello and introducing themselves. Fine for phonics, I suppose, but not very entertaining.

[Sharon]

Uses sight words such as I, a, am, we, what, are , is to create a fun story. Perfect for kids just learning to read and gives them practice with their first sight words.
