Meet Meg & Pug
Discover beautiful stories designed for early reading success.
Meg & Pug Are Just the Beginning!
The right books can change everything.
That’s why we’re building Beautiful Books, with thoughtfully crafted decodable stories kids can read independently.
From the author of the award-winning All About Reading program, Beautiful Books brings trusted literacy expertise to young readers. Your child will grow in confidence—page by page.
Why Our Books Feel Different
Many “easy” books ask children to guess or memorize words they haven’t learned yet—and that’s hard on kids.
Our books are different. They’re designed to help children succeed right from the start.
We meet young readers right where they are, then gently guide them forward with stories that feel doable, so they can proudly say, “I can read it!”

What People Are Saying
"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
"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."

"I'm a reading interventionist, using Meg & Pug with my students. These provide such wonderful practice for my 2nd grade students who are still working on CVC words...so these books were perfect!"
"I loved that my son was able to figure out all the words by himself with only the exception of the word the."
The books are very cute and developmentally appropriate. The illustrations were my kids' favorite part.
"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."
"My kids and I love these readers! The stories are relatable and the characters are so fun!"
