The Pup Speaks Up reviewed with Hide-and Seek Words (Heling, Hembrook). PreS-K.
“These effective new books from the Step into Reading series are labeled “phonics–ready to read.” In Pup, this means using rhyme and repetition. A small, black-and-white dog greets his new owner, but unlike the other animals, who quack, honk, and oink with impunity, Pal says nothing. When a cat meows at him, Pal finally speaks his piece: “Bow wow wow.” Prereaders can use their skills to match the animals with their sounds. The book extends the concept by introducing sounds made by inanimate objects such as trains and tugs. The colorful pages feature sprightly, simply shaped characters and animals.” —Ilene Cooper, Booklist Reviews
