PreS-Gr 1—Looking for super simple books for evolving readers who are interested in big construction vehicles? This series fits the bill! Repetition of the longer, perhaps unfamiliar vehicle names is paired with sight words in short, succinct sentences. Brightly colored photos accompany each sentence and perfectly illustrate the text, allowing readers to use their picture clue skills to decode unfamiliar terms. The layout, photos above clear, large words on blank white pages, is simple and straightforward. Each book includes a word list of the non-sight words and a full word count in the back. The only possible negative is that these books do not have a hardcover edition, making them less durable additions to this typically high-circulation topic. VERDICT Though the layout is simple, the combination of images and text is perfection. A recommended purchase, especially in classrooms or libraries looking for book bin materials.
