 simply don't hold a child's interest July 6, 2010
E. Willis
We have the first two sets of these for our two older children. The kids are homeschooled and we have several reading primers. These are by far the least interesting. The story lines, if they could be called that, are dull and use so few words that they don't make sense. The kids, even when they were three years old, wanted no part of these books. I put them away since I wanted them to enjoy reading and not see it as a boring chore. Primer type beginning reader books are great for kids who are learning to read but these are too slow for kids who want to read a story. These books are little paper booklets so part of the problem may have been that the kids didn't see these as real books. We've had the most success with phonics worksheets for very basic skills such as reading 'mat' or 'cat', flashcards for sight words such as 'and' or 'is', simple and repetitive story books (there are hundreds out there, just look for words that repeat throughout the book), and story type primers such as 'dick and jane' and the mcguffey readers.
 Check them out before you buy them! June 17, 2010

We had the first two sets of these Bob Books (as gifts to our younger daughter). Now that my girls can read, I'm still not sure what the allure of these books is.
Sure, my younger one had been excited about reading these books... she was ecstatic that she could them all by herself! But by the time we approached the last few lessons from "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" (a much better investment, by the way), she could read most of the readers marked "Pre-Level 1", "Level 1" and some "Level 2" that I see little point in continuing with these overly simplistic Bob Book stories.
Not to say that they are without merits, but try one or two sets before you plunge ahead. Better yet, if you can split a set with a couple of families, buy them used, or check them out at the library. I personally think that it's not worth the full amount they're asking for. I would have spent my money elsewhere.
 The rhythm of the Bob books is the key to reading success! May 12, 2010

Words Aren't Fair
By Martha Biery, author of Words Aren't Fair
As a reading specialist, my favorite starter books are the Bob books. There is nothing like simple words with lots of repetition to get kids to the point where they experience success. It might seem too simple to you as adults, but trust me, as a teacher for 40 years, this is the way it starts - with the Bob books. Some kids spend a fair amount of time on these books and that's because they need to. Other kids breeze through them and go on to more complicated stories. But if your child needs reinforcement of the reading code, you can't go wrong with the Bob books.

I was not told at time of purchase that the set would be missing two books. I would have purchased a complete set had I known. The product itself is good but the lack of disclosure until after I bought the item left me feeling like I would not purchase anything else from this website.
Great starter reading March 24, 2010

My daughter aged 4 loves these books - it is the one she can read to me with no problems, then we (I) go on to read Richard Scarry - her favourite. Whilst I know these are very basic it gives her great confidence that she can read a book and teaches children to spell words out - which they will use for the rest of their lives not just for a year so please dont underestimate the power of these books - they are to be used in conjunction with other books and I have found them to be exactly what I needed to get my daughter reading. Perfect for what I wanted as a teching tool not as a story book - we have enough of those!!Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day
