This book is wonderful for early readers. It is repetative (necessary for children), but still fun. Every word in the book can be easily sounded out by a young reader. I find early reader books with words that children can not possibly read on their own to be counter-productive. This book is a self-esteem builder. My daughter read it on her own and then read it to my husband. She was very proud and so were we.
I was introduced to this book by a young girl I was babysitting. She is six years old and loves the book. She can read it all by herself, which is important to build confidence.One thing we enjoyed was that each time Cat sets a trap, the reader is given a clue about what he might catch. She pointed out each clue and giggled.As an adult, it is easy to become bored or frustrated by a book that is too contrite; however, I thought this was a cute, enjoyable book.
This was my sons first book. What I liked most was that it made him want to keep reading to see what happened next to the poor cat. The words are very short, perfect for beginers, and the repetition helped gave him plenty of practice.
I love the step one books, they are perfect for my 5 year old learning to read. There aren't too many words so they are great for very early readers. These books are easier than the others that are level 1. The price is great so I'm able to order several at a time so he isn't just memorizing the stories, we can read different ones every day.
Some of the level one books are too difficult (have too many words, or longer words) for true beginning readers. My daughter is 4 years old and starting to sound out words, recognize sight words, and show an interest in reading. She was able to work through this book with me, sounding out the words and using the pictures as clues. It actually manages to have a cute little rhyming story. She likes it a lot.
Cat Traps by Molly Coxe is a charming and humorous book for preschool children and young readers. Cat's dish is empty. He sets a trap, but the trap doesn't catch what he hopes it will. Cat continues to set different types of traps to try to catch various creatures for his snack. His efforts yield surprising results. The repetition and the illustrations in Cat Traps help young children learn to predict what will happen next in the story. This is key to developing a child's reading comprehension. I think you will enjoy sharing this book with the children in your life.
This is a popular book at our grand daughter's school library that aligns nicely with their learning to read program. When it went missing, we replaced it immediately with a hard back copy. A worthy book by Molly Coxe for anyone's library with excellent 2-day service through prime put a smile on our faces.
My 6 year old daughter found this book and the illustrations wildly entertaining, she always insists on reading it twice! She laughed and laughed at the cat's trap "mishaps" and loved trying to predict what would happen next. I highly recommend for beginning readers, it made reading time very fun for my daughter!
