Sunshine, Moonshine (Step-Into-Reading, Step 1)

Good new book and arrived in Australia well.

I buy these little books as rewards for my granddaughter when she finishes a chapter in her school reading book.

I bought this as a gift for my Son to read to his Sons, I read it two him when he was a young boy and he loved the book and I loved reading it to him.I wanted him and his sons to have that wonderful experience as well

I purchased these books for my 5-year-old daughter who is beginning to read on her own and these Step Into Reading books are excellent as they have a high-interest factor that motivates her to read. The stories are also wonderfully illustrated in full color. Here, the book is about sunshine,"Sun shines on the mountains. Sun shines on the sea" and moon shine, "Moon shines on the houses. Moon shines on the cars."These Step 1 series are recommended for preschool-K - the stories are in large type and the vocabulary is easy. The stories are also in a rhyming format which makes them easy and fun to read. The full color pictures also provide contextual clues as to the word being used in the text. These early readers have raised my daughter's confidence level in reading, and she is doing so well that I'm purchasing the Step Two books (Preschool-Grade 1). I use these books in conjunction with sight words to reinforce her recognition of common vocabulary.

Very easy level one reader. I wish the "Step into Reading" had more specific leveling, because this is very easy compared to other level 1's. It's repetitive, as in almost every page starts with "Sun shines" or "Moon shines". What I like is that there are 28 pages to read, so although it's very simple, your child does feel like they have read a substantial book. I've attached a sample of the text.

Great price and good quality

This company puts out great books for your little ones my granddaughter and myself love and recommend

Our 3 year old twin daughters absolutely LOVE this book. It has become one of their “go to’s”!

Sun(Moon) shines 〜　で始まる簡単な文章が繰返されます。海辺に太陽が昇って沈み、そして月が昇る。男の子の一日を照らす『光』の美しさに目を見張ります。２歳の息子は、光源(雲に隠れた太陽等)を探したり、とても興味を持って読んでいます。子供の絵本とは思えないイラストの美しさに感動です！

昔、読んだことがあり懐かしくなり購入。当時は気づかなかったですが、絵がとてもキレイです。内容が分からなくても視覚で楽しめます。繰り返されるフレーズが頭に残り、つい口から出ます。

単純なセンテンスの繰り返しなので子供も覚えやすく、一緒にページをめくりながら読んでくれます。絵も美しく、心がなごみます。朝の光と共に起きる所から、最後は、月明かりの中で眠りにつく話の流れになっているので、ベットタイムストーリーとしても最適だと思います。
