My First Bob Books: Pre-Reading Skills

It's exactly what I bought.

Me lo habia recomendado una amiga, y acertó. Les encanta a mis hijos de 3 y 2 años. Lo recomiendo

Brilliant just what we wanted.

Gr8 books.... My kid just loves the characters....

as a gift

My 3-year-2-month-old absolutely loves these pre-reading books. He doesn't know the alphabet reliably yet. I bought these on a whim, not sure if "prereading skills" would be something noticeably different from the other books we read, but WOW yes they are. You find some of the same pattern games in other books, but always with other distracting details or illustrations. Here the words and line drawings are simple, the pattern games are clearly and implicitly laid out, and they ratchet up gently in difficulty step by step. And my son LOVES it. He obviously loves both the challenge and the satisfaction of being able to meet a reasonable challenge gauged just right for him. He insisted on reading all 12 books at once the first time we opened the box, and carried the boxes around all evening begging for more and laying them next to his bed when he went to sleep. When he woke up the next morning we had to read them all over again. He's always enjoyed books but I would never have expected this reaction out of him!! Many thanks to the authors, if they ever see this review -- you've made my son so happy. We especially (each in our own way) love that they are not didactic -- you figure out the pattern but nobody is giving instructions or telling you what to do. I highly recommend this to other parents of littles.
