About the Book While many books purport to be “My First Independent Read,” anyone who has tried to teach such books to beginning readers knows that they are often simply too difficult. By contrast, “Mo and Bo” is a first step out of learning the alphabet and into independent reading. Utilizing a very restricted set of sounds and delightfully whimsical illustrations, “Mo and Bo” draws young readers in and sparks their confidence in their ability to read. Written by a homeschool mom of five, this book is perfect for families who value early childhood literacy and joyful learning.
