This is (was) a great book. My parents bought it for my younger brother and his name is written out. He was 5 years old at the time and we were unaware he was dyslexic. I worked with him every night pointing at the sounds, the letters and the pictures and he laughed and laughed, but he learned. Great memory for me!
