Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Are We There Yet? (Disney's Mickey Mouse Club) Review
"Are we there yet?" - the question is familiar to both preschoolers and their parents! In this road story, Mickey and his Clubhouse pals find that every delay, backtracking, or distraction is not necessarily a bad thing when you're on the road to learning. In this simple Ready-to-Read story, children can predict repeated words and phrases and gain confidence in their ability to read aloud. User Submitted Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Are We There Yet? (Disney's Mickey Mouse Club) ReviewsMay 20, 2008 Teaches counting I ordered this for my son who is 21 months old. He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and knows all the characters. The book is very short and keeps his attention long enough for us to practice counting. He loves this book. May 5, 2008 Great for Homeschooling! As a homeschooling mother, I have a difficult time finding readers for my 4 year old. He is eager to learn, but there isn't much available reading at his level. Dick and Jane are horrible, but these books, featuring his favorite Disney characters are perfect. There is a great deal of repetition, and pictures that give clues to what the words say. No, at this point it isn't really "reading", but kids need this kind of book to encourage a love of reading. Otherwise they get bogged down in the nuts and bolts of phonics, and "learn" that reading is all work and no play. As it is, my little guy brings me these books every few hours, and reads them to me. He reads them to everyone he meets. He is excited to read, and even feels ready to tackle harder books. My older son never had any of this type of book. At the age of 6, he is well advanced in phonics, and can read any word you put in front of him. However, he is intimidated by books. He doesn't enjoy reading them at all. He is catching on, as I have been introducing him to these readers however, since they are so easy, they guarantee success. I highly recommend these to parents whose children are "ready to read" but need easier texts than most early readers (or easy readers) provide. December 28, 2007 Great pictures and great read for a Toddler! My son LOVES Mickey Mouse and loves this book! It's a fun counting book with great, colorful pictures!Plus they learn about locations as well. "Are we at the beach yet? No, not yet!" Then they show pictures of the desert, a rain forest, a regular forest, Antarctica, etc. Perfect for the Disney fan! December 28, 2007 Disappointed I bought this book for my 3 year old daughter who is a fan of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse t.v. show. This book did not grip her attention in the slightest, and she has not wanted me to read it again. It is not a bad book in terms of early reading skills, but it does not follow the pattern of the t.v. show. I find "Over the River" in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Early Readers to be a better book. November 11, 2007 Great first step in learning to read This book has is a great first step in learning to read. It contains many Dolch sight words. (Of course, the dolch list is based on words most commonly found in children's books.) This book is repetitive and has many visual cues to aid in recognizing words. I suspect we'll outgrown this book quickly, but for a short time, it's going to be pretty valuable. It seems to be building my daughter's confidence, which encourages her to read more. August 24, 2007 An introduction to counting This colorful early reading book uses repetitive words and short, simple sentences to help your child count from 1 to 10. As Mickey Mouse and his friends take an amazingly long drive to the beach, they pass through a desert, rainforest, Antarctica, a woodland forest, and finally the beach itself. At each point (i.e., each page spread) they count the flora and fauna -- "Mickey sees one cactus," "Donald sees three frogs," "Goofy sees five seals," etc. Cartoony, wide-eyed animals dot each landscape. August 9, 2007 Great for early reading Great book for early reading or for reading to toddlers. Wonderful colors and includes all your Mickey Clubhouse characters.
