The New Kid at School by Kate McMullan

5.0

Very cute book. Read this with to my 4 year old son. He thought it was hysterical and loved the dragon. The chapters and overall story were just the right length to keep him interested. The physical text was also big enough that he could easily pick out his sight words as we read and was able to work with mom and dad to sound out other words. Some of the vocabulary was still above his skill level so it would be another few years before he could read this on his own without an adult to explain some words to him. There were also just enough illustrations to help a four year old transition from picture books to text only books. It is fun to watch him create his own pictures in his mind. Overall a great series perfect for young children to read with mom and dad or an early reader to read on their own. I see the next 19 books in the series in our future real soon!
