The fox on the box (Invitations to literacy)

This is a nice book for beginning readers. It has a simple story, lots of rhymes and beautiful pictures. My 4 year old likes trying to read the story and my 2 year old loves listening and looking at the pictures.

this is a super book for learning to read. my 3 year old loves it. the story is cute, the rhyming is fun and the pictures are great too. definitely a great way to introduce reading to toddlers.

My son enjoyed this book. Its great for beginners. Gives them nice breaks with the pictures. My son is 3 years old and wanted to learn how to read. I recommend this book and The Bob Books for the beginners. K. Platt Fishers, IN

This is a wonderful first reading book.The book is structured so that there is a page with words and then a page with an illustration only. This structure gave my son a break from concentrating. Reading a book like this made his first reading experience enjoyable.

This is the first book that my kindergarten son was able to read independently. After practicing with Level 1A books at school, he was so proud to be able to pick up this book and read it from start to finish. He got a big kick out of the surprise ending and has read it over and over to anyone who will listen--in person and on the phone. The sentence construction is very simple ("The fox sat on a box.") but it's a sweet, funny story that is enhanced by beautiful watercolor illustrations. Even our 15 month old daughter now loves to sit in his lap to have him read it to her. Although he'll outgrow it soon, his reading confidence has been helped a great deal by having books of his own that he can read. We're adding more of Barbara Gregorich's books to his library for just that reason. It's an easy investment to help him develop a lifelong love of reading.
