"The Hairy Bear Scare" is a delightful pick if you're guiding a young one through the initial stages of reading. Its focus on phonics makes sounding out words a fun activity rather than a chore. With advice on teaching methods included, it's as much a tool for your toolbox as it is a charming tale for storytime.
