Light

Although easy to place as written in the late 70s/early 80s by the cheery, optimistic illustration style, this short, fun little book is still a pleasure to read with the under-5 crowd. The book provides a good way to enforce the word "light" with them, as it appears on almost all of the pages. It also helps build a vocabulary of other short words, such as "city", "country" and "flashing". This could easily be one of the first book your early reader tackles, but I agree with the other reviewer that older children would probably be bored with this as a book (but might enjoy it as a poem).

An easy and colorful read for your budding reader! I loved Mr. Crews' illustrations, going along with the theme of light at night in the busy city. Very colorful and entertaining.My second grader found this book much too easy, but nontheless enjoyed the pictures.A quick tale for boosting confidence in reading.
