Perfectly done, terrific way to help kids jump into reading My kids' preschool teacher recommended this to me and now I rave about Nora Gaydos' "Now I'm Reading" level 1 and up series to other moms.

-Worth every cent!

excellent books, pleasant illustrations, waldorf mom likes the series I agree with all the rave reviews about how these books progress from basic to more advanced reading skills.

I rarely buy a book for my children that is not beautifully illustrated, ala The Rainbabies by Laura Krauss Melmed and Jim Lamarche or Sophie's Masterpiece: A Spider's Tale by Eileen Spinelli and Jane Dyer. While not beautiful in a painterly manner, the illustrations by BB Sam are not at all garish and by far the best I've seen in any beginning reader.
