Cats and bats and things that go bump — a large-format early reader packed with the kind of whimsical wordplay that makes phonics feel like a game.
Written by V. Gilbert Beers and illustrated by Juel Krisvoy, this oversized Wonder World Books hardcover from The Southwestern Company brings together rhyming word families and cheerful illustration in a book designed for children just beginning to read on their own. A great-looking book that shows its age — stains on the covers and several pages — but reads cleanly and is all there.
A fun gift for an early reader, or a nostalgic find for anyone who grew up with this series.
