Reach for this book when your child is just beginning to sound out words and needs a boost of confidence through humor and play. Many early readers feel intimidated by new vowel sounds, but this story turns the challenge of the long 'i' sound into a silly, messy game.

The story follows nine boisterous monsters as they gather for a meal, focusing on words like 'nine,' 'dine,' 'smile,' and 'pie.'
