Hooray for Henry (Easy Readers)

HOORAY FOR HENRY is what my dear Mom had me first read so many years ago. I can't believe I still had it laying about! It was a cute story about a little boy at a picnic who desperately wanted to win a prize. Every page had an illustration, which held my attention even now.
The book is from a series called 'Easy Reader.' As explained on the inside cover, it was written to keep the young reader's interest high. It was told in a simple style with a strong rhythm that added enjoyment. A high percentage of the words were repeated and only 72 different words were used. This is my kind of book!

Thanks Debbie. In all honesty Ruth had to help me with some of the words. :-)

I too remember Dick and Jane! I would always get in trouble because I would read ahead and then be lost when it was my turn to read.
