K-3Brand New Readers series.
Each of the books in this series contains four simple stories that usually end with a satisfying twist or joke youngsters will enjoy. First-time readers are aided by short sentences and repetition, clear, entertaining illustrations, and introductions (to be read by an adult) that briefly summarize the action; adults get useful tips on helping beginning readers gain confidence. Review covers these Brand New Readers titles: Kazam's Magic, Hurray for Rosa!, Beep! Beep! It's Beeper!.]
