Scholastic Reader - 1 Gus Gets Scared

Good...suitable for the second stage learners

Not much to this story. But its great for a quick read with your toddler or for a child just learning to read.

Not easy to find books with the name Gus on them, so these were perfect for our grandson. cute read and adorable! we really enjoy the leveled readers...a short read for parents when bedtime has been dragging out way to long, and then they make a great reader when the children are learning to read for themselves!

My 20 month old son loved it! Cute book,the son wants to sleep outside, but then wants his dad to join him..ends up his dads the only one that sleeps outside all night.

Love Gus gets scared. I bought this for my 5 year old son, and he only had minor trouble with some of the words. It was supposed to challenge him a little and it did. I would recommend buying an entire book series. Or a book set. But just one book isn't going to cut it. Kids are too smart, and they memorize it before you can blink. I'm going to get a series of books.

My son got a good kick out of the story. It's simple enough that, as a five year old, he can read it himself without getting to frustrated and needing help.
