    The Usborne ones I have are different, they are called Usborne Very First Reading and the first book is Pirate Pat, there are 15 books in the series. The parent reads one page and then the child reads the next page through the book.

    Also good are the basic Dr Seuss ones. The ones with blue or green on the spine. When writing them he went by the principle of using sight words - he had a list of 200 (I think!) to choose from, and would allow a certain number of extra words per book. Ones like "One fish, two fish, red fish blue fish" and "Ten apples up on top" are favourites here. DD likes them better than others because she not only understands them, but finds them funny.

    Yes, it is yellow Olive. I only bought the first four through Fishpond to see how we would go and as she moves through them I will keep buying a few at a time.
