Of course, the best part...It is worth every penny! Of course, the best part is that it is really reasonable. I should dedicate a whole post to that book. It really has opened the door to reading for my boys. Lachlan has struggled with letters, it's just not his thing and I haven't pushed him. He is 6 almost 7 and has very basic reading skills. But they are growing quickly with the help of this book. I took one look at it the first time and was overwhelmed by it. I just closed it and put it down. But a friend of mine actually sat down and started digging in and raved about it so I gave it another chance. I am so glad that I did. Like you said, it's a great book to snuggle on the couch and read. Also, since I am using it for 2 kids I put a post it tab in two different colors to mark which lesson they are at. I find this work much better than book marks that just fall out. I also use a giant post it note pad page to cover the photos when you get the story part. They are supposed to read the words and then tell you what they think will be in the picture before seeing it. Again, I find the post it to be a better way to keep it covered with out the risk of it sliding out of place.

I LOVE how it gives you complete scripts for everything. I got it for our 6 year old that can't read at all (which sucks for her in school) but have been going through it with Little Guy too. I don't think he is actually old enough to learn to read, but its good practice for all the things he will need to know to read, and he enjoys it (especially when I let him touch the balls under the sounds LOL). I will probably end up having to go through it with him at least once more, but its nice and snuggly so I don't mind at all!Wife, Then Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637174631322228369noreply@blogger.com
