Scholastic Reader Level 1: Silly Milly

I bought this through my grandson's pre-school to add variety to my library at home. The story line may be a little difficult for young ones to understand Milly's obsession with certain words, but once read, they may catch on. I just wasn't impressed with the storyline (if you can find one). The book is just silly in my opinion. It reads like the Dr. Suess books of which were never a favorite of mine either, and I am unsure whether this one will be a choice for my grandson to want to read. The pictures are colorful but there are many other better books out there. Save your money on this one.

This book is cute. It has simple, repetitive, easy words that are perfect for a young one learning to read. However, much of it doesn't make sense. I understand the character is silly but I find that I spend a more time explaining the book and less time reading it with my child.

the book was mailed in a plain , unpadded envelope. It arrived bent. The cover of the book was dirty, i actually had to wipe it with a damp rag. There were smudges on many pages. It cleaned up well enough with minimal effort, but i was disappointed with the condition,even for a 'used' book. Any used books i've bought from the store in the past have arrived in better condition than this.

The content of the book is great. Its a cute little riddle and i think my niece will love it .

This is a terrible book and not useful for teaching a child to read. Using multisyllabic words like alligator, shower, and umbrella in a level one learn to read book is ridiculous. I will stick with the Bob books.

An adorable book with great illustrations. Perfect for reading with a first grader since it rhymes. It also introduces a lot of words to help reinforce long and short vowel sounds such as "umbrella," "alligator," "needles". Little girls in particular love this book.

My 5 year old thought this book was hilarious! The story is funny and the illustrations are super cute. I loved that at the end of the book there was a realization that prompted you to go back over the pages. Very creative!
