Since our First Word Search puzzle books debuted two years ago, this wildly successful series has sold over 60,000 copies. Clearly, parents who want to help their children get a
head-start in reading are snapping these up—and youngsters are enjoying the learning experience. This new addition continues the phonics fun as it presents puzzles that teach basic sounds
(“bake’” for the long A) and letter combinations (“oo” as in book). Charming line drawings by Steve Harpster—the illustrator of Sterling’s new Kids Draw series—add to the puzzles’
appeal.
