Boxes for Max: The Sound of X

(4) K-3 Consonants series. With no preamble beyond its subtitle (e.g., "The Sound of Hard C"), each volume provides a collection of uninspired, loosely connected easy-reader sentences that feature a particular consonant sound: "At the cabin, I wear my cap. / At the cabin, I call my cat." Bright, full-page stock photos add visual appeal to these dull but serviceable literacy-development supplements. Review covers these Consonants titles: Boxes for Max, A Day with George, Malls, The Cabin, Vets, and Wish and Win.
