    Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! This fun set of easy-to-read stories focuses on rhyming words -- perfect for beginning readers. Now in a sturdy hardcover bind-up!

    Rhyming makes reading more fun! Each book in this phonics-based box set explores a different rhyming word family.

The repetition of rhyming sounds in these silly stories helps early readers sound out the one-syllable words. This collection is a great companion to Bob Books Beginning Readers and Bob Books First Stories.

    Inside this sturdy hardcover you'll find:

    • 10 easy-to-read, hilarious stories: 12 pages each, 15-23 unique words per story
    • A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

    Each story includes:

    • A new rhyming word family (AN: can, Dan, fan, plan, ran)
    • Decodable text: three- and four-letter rhyming words with short vowels that can be sounded out
    • Simple sentences (The red sled sped.)
    • Limited sight words (a, now, for)
    • Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
