“Who Am I?” Review (All About Reading)

Books are a homeschooler’s best friends, especially if they inspire children to want to read.  I have reviewed All About Spelling and the Beehive Reader 1 (which is being renamed “Cobweb the Cat” for a more child-friendly title).  My children love both, so I was pretty sure the new “Who Am I?” Reader(available for purchase April 1st) from the same company would be a hit.  WhatAmICover Technically, the readers go with a sister company to All About Spelling, called All About Reading, which will officially open later this year.  However, this reader correlates with Level 2 (Steps 1-14)of All About Spelling as well, so we can use it now.

“Who Am I?” is a delightfully illustrated, slightly silly collection of short stories.  The topics in the stories appealed to both my boys and girls.  Here are the ten chapters:

  1. The Bench
  2. An Elf in the Alps
  3. Broken Robot
  4. The Bake Sale
  5. Matt the Musk Ox
  6. Skunk Hotel
  7. Champ
  8. Pine Tree Pet Shop
  9. Just for You: Poems for Fun
  10. What Am I?

Our favorite story is Skunk Hotel, where one skunk multiplies into a family of seven.  SamplePages3 While all my children enjoy the book, my 8 year old has claimed it as her own.  It stays in hanging in a bag on her bedpost, ready to grab and read at will. 

We like these readers so much we plan to buy the rest of them from All About Spelling as they are released this year!
