Review
This beginner reader at the shared reading level fits the bill for the targeted age group. Huff and Puff together comprise a train; Huff pulls, Puff pushes. They find that they have way too much stuff that they are carrying and there is way too much huffing and puffing taking place. They even have a difficult time climbing hills. They decide they must get rid of some of their stuff, but what to do, what to do. The bright illustrations are adorable and are much like picture book illustrations so the transition to beginner reader level is gentle. The rhyming text is great for this shared reading level and children will love this selection, especially those that are train lovers. Their vocabulary will be enhanced while, at the same time, they are investigating all that is going on within the illustrations. This is a good addition to easy reader collections.
Overall Book Score: very good
