These books used only a few words to tell enjoyable little stories. They gave the children practice in figuring out words on their own. I didn't realize that they would also become classics, beloved by children who cherished them, carried them around constantly, hugged them in bed, and re-read them until their families could recite them by heart and the books themselves collapsed in tatters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e These children have grown up and want to share their favorite little storybooks with their own children. The first to be republished was \u003ci\u003eAnn Likes Red\u003c\/i\u003e, brought out by Purple House Press in the Fall of 2001. Now the others are being reprinted, starting with \u003ci\u003eBallerina Bess\u003c\/i\u003e, a simple story written with only 25 words and beloved by many little girls who learned to read with it. I hope you will like it, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The other titles in the series, to be reprinted later, are \u003ci\u003eThe Tent, The Rabbit, Big Beds and Little Beds, The Pond, Stop Pretending, Bill and the Fish, Brad and Neil\u003c\/i\u003e, and my personal favorite, \u003ci\u003eThe Sandwich\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 8.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 18, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47327274074361,"sku":"9781553697145","price":16.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/N2JCbEZGWm1ZeGN1OVNYcDc3YmZLdz09.webp?v=1769578117","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/ballerina-bess-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
