I can really relate to not loving the reading aloud, although I love to read silently. These are great also for beginning readers. Thanks for the review!

These were good books, but they featured some pretty cheesy characters: a snake, a bee, and a spider, I believe, and there was an accompanying video that had to be seen to be believed, it was so silly. BOB Books bring that right back.<br/><br/>My husband and I got so fed up reading our series that, once away from the kids, we indulged in some pretty disgusting humor at the expense of bee, snake and spider. We had them getting up to some pretty unnatural behavior, I am afraid. It made us feel a lot better, though. When we lived in Japan, we taught our kids to read English with the Jolly Phonics series.
