What readers are saying about Fun with ed and Fred:
“A laugh out hilarious book using only simple sight words. . . .The kind of silliness that most appeals to early readers. Easy reader perfection.” -- Erin from MyStorytimeCorner.com
“My first grader loved this. He is starting to read books by himself and it can be difficult to find a book that is appropriately-challenging for newbie readers. This one has several great qualities: Lots of sight words, repetition, good illustrations and humor.” -- Christine, Goodreads
“This is a funny and engaging little book for kids beginning to read on their own. My five year old giggled the whole way through it.” -- Brittany, Goodreads
“My 5 year old loves to read this book. It is FILLED with sight words. Some of the wording on pages is repetitive which helps reinforce her skills. It's a funny book and we laugh about Poor Fred!”--Peggy, Amazon
“My son loved this book from cover to cover. He is in kindergarten and was able to read all the pages with minimal assistance. Funny storyline and great confidence booster.” Reader from Hennepin County Library on bibliocommons.
"Great beginner book and so funny. My kids and I were all laughing at the story. Not too many words on the page, so it wasn't intimidating for my early reader. Can't wait to read more."-- phillygirlly, Amazon
"My 5-year-old son, who is hesitant to read, loves this book. He practices the sight words on the front and back cover of the book and I read him the story. It's a cute, silly story.'--Krande, Amazon
"My first grader loves this book. It has helped build her confidence with reading." -- Vickie, Amazon
“Educators and parents will appreciate the plentiful sight-word practice afforded by this modern equivalent of Eastman’s classic Fred and Ted series, while primary-graders will embrace the cheeky tone and humorous situations.” -- Bulletin of the Centre for Children’s Books
“Kids can get frustrated when they are learning to read, and this book will make their efforts well worth it. I love it when the rewards of reading are laugh out loud moments! I enjoyed that this book is fun to read multiple times. Plenty of scenarios and illustrations make this story one kids will enjoy over and over as they master the vocabulary.” -- OneGreatBook.com
