Good quality but higher price. Great for 5 year olds who is beginning to read. Review: Excellent starter book - My daughter is in the initial stage of learning to read. There are levels of books which should be followed in that order, as it gets more advanced with each. Starts with 4 words a page with related pictures. Some of the words are the same with only the last letter different to help them identify letters better and learn the difference better, like “Sam Sat” or “Mac has a bag and Mag”. Between the books some words like names keep popping up again, to test if the can identify the words or if they have just memorised it for that one book. Funny for kids where you can make a nice game out of it. We have been learning 1 book a week and my child is enjoying it. ## Features - As per Description - It comes with proper packaging - Easy to read text ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #39,272 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #149 in Children's Early Learning Books on the Alphabet #184 in Children's Early Learning Books on Words #347 in Children's Books on Reading & Writing | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 22,999 Reviews | ## Images ![Bob Books - Set 1: Beginning Readers Box Set Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten (Stage 1: Starting to Read) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fzRCr2D-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by M***Y on 16 August 2025* Good book.
