Useful additions to beginning-reader collections.Maura Bresnahan, Shawsheen School, Andover, MACopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Good Early Reader Choice Pop Bop Sometimes with these early readers I wonder if the publishers have given any thought to who their readers are. Unusual words and complex sentences. Confusing or downright unattractive illustrations. Weird or ambiguous messages. And I don't mean intentionally subversive books like Daniel Pinkwater's "Larry the Polar Bear" books, I mean books that just seem to be a bit clueless. Well, the Edwards books, and especially "New At The Zoo", do not suffer from this weakness. Well written, with a straightforward theme and a simply told story, the book is both fun and interesting for a new reader. Illustrations sustain interest and serve the text . "daughter approved" according to Fatima Vazquez. My daughter loves all these books. I dont see why but she loves them, they're easy and repetitious. I thought they were too easy but she can sit there and read them over and over again. As long as she's happy :). A Great Beginning for a Beginning Reader! My daughter, while barely four, devours books. We've been working on phonics and found the basic level of this beginning reader wonderful. She was reading it back to her Father the same night! The author repeats words throughout the book making words easier to identify for young readers. Truth be told, it was the illustrations with their brilliant colors that first captured my daughters attention. The frog experiences a range of emotions that open doors for conversation about how she might have felt in the same situation. Even as an adult, I enjoyed the book and the feeling of watching your child develop a new skill is priceless.
His disappointment turns to delight, however, when the animals give their new friend a surprise party to welcome him to the group. When a lonely little frog arrives at the zoo, he is disappointed that all the other animals seem too busy to welcome him. Full color.
