With a focus on high-quality writing and top-notch artwork, My Readers are original stories-not adaptations-with new illustrations that provide what beginning readers need most: a great story.
"Simple language, appealing repetition, a predictable narrative pattern, and a direct interplay between the text and the vibrant artwork draw emergent readers into the story."
School Library Journal
