K-3Brand New Readers series.
Illustrated by
Frank Remkiewicz.
Each of these books tells four simple stories that end with a satisfying twist youngsters will enjoy, though Rosa's tales are comparatively flat. First-time readers are aided by short sentences and repetition; clear, entertaining illustrations; and introductions (to be read by the adult) before each story that briefly summarize the action. Adults get useful tips on helping their children reader gain reading confidence.
