We want a pet snake, but our dad is terrified of snakes. He finally agreed. What could possibly go wrong...?! The Our House series is created to provide beginning readers with simple content and humor, so that it engages their desire to read the books, again and again. Our House stories are written using first-level sight words to make reading easy and build the young reader's confidence. Both the parent and child will enjoy the humor, and the child's reading ability will grow by reinforcing the sight words. Adults will enjoy the jokes as well - a welcome respite from so many dull kids' stories! Short and sweet for parents. Early reading doesn't have to be boring - it can be funny too! Each Our House book is based on a true story, depicting the chaos that reigns in a house with four young kids, a single dad, and way, way too many pets.
