Humorous illustrations and die-cut pages introduce rhyming word families ending in "ack," "ick," and "ock."

Combines simple rhymes with anime-style illustrations in a series of skill-building stories that invites young readers to become familiar with word families that share similar long- and short-vowel sounds.

"With bright art done in the Japanese anime style, each book in this interactive early reading series features three different word families. When kids flip the pages, they get a new word and image within that word family. Word families help children recognize similarities between words that rhyme, and help them connect words with similar long or short vowel sounds. This familiarity helps kids read a word they don't necessarily know"--
