Problematic language wasn’t updated in this version.
Published by Skerr , 4 years ago
It’s showing a picture of the original version of this book, however I’m writing this review for the newer version, the ones with red spines. I love this series but a few of the letters has problematic language so I ordered the new versions to replace them. The new version still uses the term ‘eskimo’ which is a racial slur. I’m really disappointed that this wasn’t updated.
Wonderful Series

We purchased this series to help my oldest learn to read. His Kindergarten teacher had told us he would never learn to read. The books are simply written and maintain the same plot line through all the books. The main character is always "Little (letter of the book." Each character has a box and decides to fill it with items that start with that letter. My oldest (now 8) reads on the 6th grade level with full comprehension. These books have done wonders in our house. I'm sorry to find that this series is now so hard to come by. I will definately hold on to these for my other children and then for their children.
