I bought this book late. Book includes simple 3-4 words. Very short sentence which a kid could easily read and understand. Short stories of 5-6 pages. Box includes 12 levels i.e 12 books. I am giving this review after 2 months. My daughter is 4 years old but she could now easily read these books on her own and now she loves reading. Wherever she finds a word she tries reading it eg. On paper or any wrapper or on her books. She starts jumping when she is able to read word correctly. Thank you for this lovely book. Really helpful Review: Good start for beginners - It is a set of 12 small books with good pictures. The price is bit high but its worth it for a good start to make kids read. It helped my 4year kid to start reading. ## Features - As per Description - It comes with proper packaging - Easy to read text ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,116 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #148 in Children's Early Learning Books on the Alphabet #187 in Children's Early Learning Books on Words #345 in Children's Books on Reading & Writing | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 21,707 Reviews | ## Images ![Bob Books - Set 1: Beginning Readers Box Set Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten (Stage 1: Starting to Read) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vFnhIZvhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good & helpful book for beginners *by A***A on 9 June 2021* This book is really good for kids above 3.5 years old.

When the other kids at his class was reading he was mentioning that he dont know to read. Though i encouraged him to learn,somehow he was mentioning that he dont know and he cant. Then after some research I came to know about the Bob books and decided to buy. I found it pricey and finally decided to give it a try. They are set of 12 small books and extremely simple. But when he finished the first book completely he was so proud that he could read and gained the confidence. He was reading next set of books to my mom and we encouraged him that he was able to read a full book all by himself and he was very happy. He finished the first set of books and I did bought next two sets as well :) Now he is still learning the complex words, but this Bob books helped him to get the confidence that he can read :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Bob Books - Set 1: Beginning Readers Box Set | Phonics, Ages 4 and up, Kindergarten (Stage 1: Starting to Read) - Learn to Read Activity Book: 101 Fun Phonics Lessons to Teach Your Child to Read (Phonics Makes Readers) - First Little Readers Parent Pack: Guided Reading Level A: 25 Irresistible Books That Are Just the Right Level for Beginning Readers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/75811022-bob-books-set-1-beginning-readers-box-set-phonics-ages](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/75811022-bob-books-set-1-beginning-readers-box-set-phonics-ages) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
