K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Boring old Dick and Jane have been replaced with a funny robot and his animal friends in these simplest of beginning readers. With chunky shapes and heavy black outline, the personable illustrations provide a lively embellishment for text that at times is just one repeated word, ("Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk") but still manages to tell a coherent, entertaining story.
