PreS-Gr 1-Learning about word families has never been more fun. Using playful language, this early reader introduces three simple stories using the word families "ot," "ab," and "it." For example, "Snot" becomes "tot," "hot," "pot," "hot pot," "snot pot," "hot tot," and "pot on tot." Whimsical cutouts create new words by turning the page, and modern, edgy designs engage youngsters. This illustrator grabs the text and punctuates it with bold animelike characters that are sure to delight the beginning-to-read set, particularly kinetic learners."Melissa Smith, Green Valley Library, Henderson, NV"
