  • The Birthday Party

    Paul Newman, Jessica Zemsky

    Hardcover (Wonder Books, March 15, 1964)
    Janey and Tommy plan a surprise birthday party for Mother. Here is the sure-fire appeal of secrets and surprises. But there is something more for young readers -- the wholesome opportunity to identify with children like themselves who are in control of the situation. It is their secret and their surprise. This book has been carefully written to keep the young reader's interest high. It is written in a simple, open style, with a strong rhythm that adds enjoyment both to reading aloud and silent reading. There is a very high percentage of words repeated. It is this skillful repetition which helps the child to read independently. Seeing words again and again, he "practices" the vocabulary he knows, and learns with ease the words that are new. Only 214 different words have been used, with plurals and root words counted once.
