This is a Level 1 book from the Real Kids Readers series that uses photographs of real people, animals and objects for its illustrations. For kids who are just starting to enter the world of reading, the real pictures can add a touch of realism and emotional connection that hand drawn illustrations can't reproduce. In this simple beginning reader, Tim and his twin, Jim, are going to play ball. A swing of the bat and the ball flies far and hits a car. Oh, no! That ball just bounces and hits everything in sight. Good thing their Golden Retriever is close by and loves to chase the ball. Phonetically based this is a nice choice for a child who needs those three letter words and a fair amount of repetition. The action is in the pictures. 32 pages Ages 4-7
