[.ca] My Pal Al (ISBN 0761320261)

My Pal, Al (Real Kids Readers, Level 1):
I am a homeschooling mom and was so thrilled to find this series! Once your child has mastered three-letter words and some sight words, they can begin with Real Kids Readers. My daughter was ecstatic to say, "Mom, I read a whole book myself!" for the first time with My Pal, Al. In the story, a young girl describes her best pal, a stuffed rabbit, and all the fun they have together. The photos are bright and cheery, without giving too many hints to the text. This has the feel of a real book and has a story line that won't insult your 5-7 yr. old's intelligence. No "See Jane run!" here! We love this book and all in the series.

Great for beginning readers:
My son is a beginning reader and loves this story. I've purchaed others in the series because of this books modern appearance and good sense of humor. Nice choice.
