"Another great option to encourage early readers to continue reading on their own with words they can decode. The Meg & Pug early reader series from Beautiful Books will make a great addition to your home library."

"The books feel more like storybooks than readers, but the reading load is still light...they are a little more imaginative than we usually find in beginning readers."

From Cathy Duffy Reviews

"My 6-year-old daughter absolutely loved them. The stories are simple, engaging, and the illustrations are adorable. As a homeschooling mom, I especially appreciate how approachable they feel for beginning readers. The repetitive text and confidence-building format make them very inviting for children who are just starting their reading journey. Honestly, I found myself wishing I had discovered these books sooner when my daughters were first learning to read. They are exactly the kind of books that help new readers experience success early on, which is so important for building confidence and a love of reading. Thank you for creating such thoughtful early-reader books."

"I'm using Meg & Pug with my students who are reading below grade level. They provide great practice for my 2nd grade students who are still working on CVC words!"

"My kids and I love these readers! The stories are relatable, and the characters are so fun! I appreciated that they weren't too girly-looking! My son and daughter both enjoyed them. I also loved the format with the text on one side and the pictures on the other. And the practice words in the back are a great addition too!"

"The books have great illustrations and pictures, and the words were a good size for beginning readers. My daughter was thrilled. She is almost done with All About Reading Level 1 and has been desiring her own books to read like her older siblings. I love that she can decode all the words on her own and gain some confidence. I like the continuing characters!"

"We loved them! My son really enjoyed reading them with me, and I loved that my son was able to figure out all the words by himself with the only exception being the word the."

"The books are very cute and developmentally appropriate. My kids loved them. The illustrations were their favorite part. We just wish there were more...especially more that cover the full scope of letter sounds and vowel teams! 🙂"

"Wonderful books that make learning to read fun! They have beautiful illustrations and are short and easy to read! There wasn't anything I didn't love!"

"The books were perfectly written and illustrated...the right length while still having a meaningful story. My son loved them!! He immediately commented "awwww" when he saw the adorable cover illustrations! I loved that my special needs son felt confident to read the books! I didn't love that there were only 6. He wanted to keep reading! Make more!!! Please continue with the word lists and activity links at the end, too. So wonderful!"
