Stop Pop by Yukiko Kido

Stop Pop by Yukiko Kido
(Preschool - Grade 1)

The Children's Staff at Newberg Public Library is thrilled to introduce the new Flip-A-Word series to our reader collection. This colorful series is a fabulous introduction to word families for emerging readers. The bold illustrations give word clues and immediately draw young readers inside the pages. In Stop Pop, three word families are introduced: the 'op' family, the 'un' family and the 'an' family. The words in each family rhyme, and once one knows how to read 'un,' it's easier to read bun, run, fun and so on. Die cuts on every other page are great fun, but they also serve a wonderful purpose in illustrating how easily a word can change just by flipping the page to a new first letter. The book concludes with simple phrases and a comprehensive list of the word families introduced. Look for many more Flip-A-Word books on the Emerging Reader shelves under illustrator Kido, Yukiko.
