Praise for I Help (I Like to Read)
"Cepeda uses bright, textured mixed-media images on white backgrounds to tell much of the story visually and thus avoids using longer words with difficult sound blends and digraphs. . . This strategy is a hallmark of the best beginning readers. . ."—The Horn Book
"This early reader’s thoughtfully controlled vocabulary makes it accessible to the newest of new readers. Throughout, Cepeda’s energetic, warm depictions of the characters provide context clues to help emerging readers. . . Helpful!"—Kirkus Reviews
"Bound to be a success for beginning readers, this early reader is full of the repetition needed for introducing basic sight words."—School Library Journal
