Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-12 00:00:00 Edward Trout A lovely story about a girl who is having a bath and is imagining a trip to a tropical island. The book is specially written to help children who are just beginning to read, so there is a lot of repetition of sight words. I also liked notes on phonological awareness and language exercises designed to help the teacher, parent or caregiver use the book more efficiently. The illustrations look fresh and lovely, although the girl looks a bit older than the target age of beginning readers. Thank you to NetGalley and Norwood House Press for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-08 00:00:00 Tim Johnston This is the perfect learning to read book. The story is interesting enough, there are a lot of repetitive sentences, so that will help kids remember and learn words and structures. There is also a part at the end to help with phonology, fluency, vocabulary, etc. So parents can help their kids even more to develop their reading skills. My only two very little minus here are, first the young girl look old to me, I don't think she look likes a child at all, and the mother was so annoying always wanting to go faster, quickly, and I have work to do. But maybe that's all me and anyway it didn't diminish the quality of the book. Good job!
