Children's Literature

A classroom cookout sets the stage to test basic addition and subtraction skills as readers count the number of hotdogs students will eat at the cookout. Designed with the help of certified reading specialists, the text is big and the illustrations are bright to help readers with their vocabulary progress. This book in the second to highest reading level of the "Read-It! Readers" series of classroom tales, combines a more advanced vocabulary with elementary math practice in an entertaining and easy-to-follow storyline. The size of this hardcover book is good for little hands to hold and is a great addition for educators or parents to utilize in either a classroom or home setting. 2005, Picture Window Books, Ages 4 to 9.

Gr 1-2-These beginning readers center around the activities of Mrs. Shay's elementary classroom. Of the three, Hatching Chicks is the best as it provides information in a simple, clear, and sequential manner. In Cookout, the teacher asks a student to find out how many hot dogs will be needed for a cookout. As the boy surveys his classmates, the counting gets bogged down by their typical but confusing requests ("I just like buns with mustard"). In Pup, the class befriends a dog on the loose during recess. Neither the spelling nor the sounds repeated in the title are carried into the mild and passable story. All of the titles contain computer-generated, cartoon illustrations. They are boldly colored but flat, with simplified figures and actions (e.g., a circular-shaped mouth indicates which character is speaking). There are many superior beginning readers that motivate and reinforce skills with controlled and repetitive vocabulary, and that have better illustrations and stronger stories.-Phyllis M. Simon, Bay Shore School District, NY Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
