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!

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.
