    Great for beginning readers!
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2022*

Six year old son loves this! He reads this to us before bed. Adores the whacky pictures. Was recommended to us — glad we decided to go with Bob Books for reading.

    Not as Good As Expected, Too Much Too Fast
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2011*

My daughter and I loved the first two sets in this boxed set.  The previous ones were very easy and got just a little bit harder with each book so as to not discourage my daughter with too many rules.  Granted, eventually the harder rules should be introduced, but since the first 2 books eased in at just the right pace, I would think this set would be the same.  Not so--they move way too fast and teach a rule but then throw in a word that goes against that rule.  My daughter refused to try to read anymore after the 2nd book the first night we got it because they were so frustrating.  I also think the activity books are not that great--totally would have rather had those 2 books spread out the rules that they are trying to shove in the other 8 books.The first book introduced "y" at the end of words as in floppy, "ed" as in stopped/begged, and "er" as in after.  This isn't a big deal, but a lot of new rules to try to described to a new reader who is used to just adding ONE consonant sound each book.Book 2 continues teaching the y at the end of the word and also continued words ending in "ed" as in flapped and bobbed.  It also introduced "ew" as in flew.  ALSO introduced "sh."  ALSO introduced "ies" as in pennies.  Again, much too much new rules before the child had time to get a grasp of what was taught in the previous book.  The point of the series (I thought) was to make children proud of reading and excited they can read "all by themsemves!"  How are they supposed to when each page you have to describe a new rule?Book 3 continues with the absurd rules and changes of sounds.  "Mama Frog and Papa Frog."  Why not just say Mom, or Mum, or even Mommy since we are learning words end in y?  Dad, Pop, Daddy!  The a's in mama and papa are different from what the child has been accustomed to in both book sets one and two (a "regular" short a at is at, map, pam, etc).  Again, not a HUGE deal when looked at alone, but in addition to all the new rules, it is very discouraging to yet again not be able to read the page without a correction from the parent.Book 3 also spews out "polliwog," I suppose to teach i sounding like ee?  Again, unnecessary and discouraging to the child.  Also introduced is "ir" in bird.  Also long i as in hide and dive.  AGAIN--teaching long i's would be GREAT if that was the only new rule to concentrate on in the whole book.For some reason I can't find book 4 right now so cannot comment specifically but I do remember that it introduces "ar" as in car.  It also throws in "started" which is pronounced differently that the child has become accustomed to in the previous books as in popped, stopped.  Easily could have caused less confuses by saying "the car did start." not "the car started."  Again, that is all I remember off the top of my head right now from that book.Book 5 and 6 finally slow down and there are almost no new rules--just a "toes" that needs to be said with a long o.  Finally time to practice without having to keep track of new rules.Book 7 introduces ing and ung, which again I think could be held off, or in the very least only teach ONE at a time.  It also says "carrot" which is completely different sounding compared to what they have learned from the previous books.  They JUST learned "ar" as in car and here they go throwing in another word that does not follow that rule.It was just very disappointing if you are used to the previous BOB books.  I feel like these books needed to be spread over 2 sets so the rules could be introduced one or two at a time and gave the child time to successfully use the rules they are learning before being thrown another rule.  I absolutely adored the previous sets because there was only one or two new sounds introduced each book--it gave my child just the right amount of challenge to not discourage.

    A smart start for your 4-5 year old
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2020*

I have a 4 year old who is in preschool.  I wanted to supplement and encourage reading at home.  I started with the Bob series.  I purchased the first set of Bob books. I like the Bob books because each page had 7-8 word sentences.  It's not overwhelming for first readers.  I read and underlined with my fingers every word on a page.  Then it was my child's turn to read the page.  He practiced reading the page over and over.  I pulled out the vocabulary words from  each page and made 3X5 flash cards.  We took a page at a time to review the words.  We also practice spelling the word.  Then he had to makeup a sentence using the new word.  We took our time to read and practice every page.  It took 1-2  weeks to complete the first book. Each book set had 3 levels and 5 books per level.  I also purchased the BOB Workbooks which are very comprehensive.  In today's times parents, grandparents and caregivers are the first line of teachers not the school system.
