Stop that Mop! by Jonathan Fenske

Stop that Mop! is a Ready to Read Level 1 book focusing on the short o sounds in words like mop, slop, and stop. The colors, movement of characters, humor and repetition in the story lines make this a perfect Level 1 book. The pages are set up with 1-2 story parts on a page, mimicking a early graphic novel style without defined boxes. The characters are illustrated with alot of movement and are very inviting to young readers with the colors and expressions.

The words are repetitive and simple, helping the reader gain confidence as they go. The key words are presented in both capital letters and lowercase, helping the reader with letter identification.

This book will be a great addition for our Kindergarten and early first grade readers.
