A young boy finds a po-go stick at a garage sale and goes on adventures hopping through town.

This book is designed for the earliest of readers who are just learning sight words. Each page spread is just one simple sentence, such as “I hop.” or “I see apples.” or “I pay.” This is all well and good but it’s dull. Also, the book doesn’t follow its own structure, with “I pay.” only used one of the times, making it seem like the child doesn’t acquire the other items, which he does.

The illustrations are fine but overall the book is pretty lackluster; it’s really only good for the most basic readers who need sight words practice and I guess this is slightly better than just rote memorization. ( )

very, very easy reader
