Funny Baby

Margaret Hillert's book, Funny Baby, is such a nice version of the "Ugly Duckling" story made readable for beginners. The illustrations are great and keep the child entertained visually as well as helping with the understanding of the story. The text is made up of a basic word list and those words are used repeatedly throughout the book. The basic text gives the child the chance to actually read a whole book and this gives a great sence of accomplishment. I give this book a big thumbs up for story content, level accuracy and illustrations.
