Five Silly Fishermen (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2)

This is a super cute math reader for beginning readers. My little one is learning to read, this was perfect for her. She loved counting the fisherman, as well.The story is about 5 fisherman that set off to catch fish then when they are done they count to make sure they are all there. However, each one fails to count themselves. They cry because they fear one of them has drowned so they mourn their friend.Along comes a little girl and asks them if she finds their lost friend for them, will they promise to give her their fish. She counts them all and they are happy to know none of them has drowned. Giving the little girl their fish. Then they go home, eat carrots, and rejoice they are reunited!My daughter laughed at every page! Super fun, great illustrations and worth the read.We used this book for our silly story unit for homeschool!

My son dislikes reading and struggles with it, he would much rather be fishing. The book does have simple counting to five, with simple easy to pronounce words with an engaging storyline. Another reviewer mentions that the book is inappropriate because it mentions death. I have to disagree with even my 7 year old recognized immediately that the fishermen were not counting themselves.It's a great book and certainly enjoyable for all.

This book is very helpful to teach a child to read.

AR level 1.5, great beginning reading book, my son who is not thrilled with reading loves to read this book. A story about 5 fishermen, who a good at fishing, but not so good at counting how many fishermen there are, a little girl comes a long and saves the day, and she gets all the fish. But the fishermen are happy they have each other. 32 pagesif you enjoy this kind of book, Try "Sir Small and the Dragonfly" Level 1.8.

Super cute book. Love the math involved (counting up to 5). Good for boys or girls.

My kids really liked this book. THey laughed and wanted many of the pages to be repeated. The illustrations are pretty good too

My 3 and 4 year old great nephews didn't quite get this silly counting book. But Step books # 2 aren't for their age even though the majority are great to read to them and they love them. They just didn't get the joke with this one.

A good book for early readers. It keeps them engaged. High interest and low reading level combine for a good experience.

great story

boring story!

Fun book for children -repeats phrases making reading easy. And the story is engaging.

５人の友達が釣りに行き成果は上々！さて帰るときになって人数確認するとアレ？！いや数え間違いに違いない、でも４人しかいない？！というとぼけたお話なのですが最後が互いを思いやる心で暖かく終わります。魚釣りを５人で行くので足し算か食べちゃって引き算のお話かなと思って買ったので５つまでの数のカウントと初歩的な間違えで終わったのは拍子抜けでしたが絵が柔らかく、ユーモアと温かみのお話だったので子供にとても受けました。又、６歳の息子が読める単語が多く、字を追いながらの私に続いて読むにはぴったりでした。簡単な３〜４行の読み物が出来るようになったお子さんの次のステップに、英語を再開して自信がない大人の方にもあっさり読めていいと思います。
