Children / Ready to Read Level One / 4 - 6 Years

Reviewed by Bob Walch

 

Part of the Ready-to-Read series, this level one book is a huge disappointment. If the goal is to launch a child into the wonderful world of words and reading why not have a story that uses words that the youngster will encounter on a regular basis and be able to use in the future?

There are very few useful words here and no real semblance of a simple story. Izzy the ice cream truck wants to get dizzy. So? Why? What’s the point? Watching the truck zoom around and get fizzy in a car wash doesn’t seem to really make much sense.

Since there is little opportunity here to get into a fun and entertaining read, I’d look for a different title in the Trucktown series or perhaps visit Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and read Thank You Day.
