Reviews for Ready? Set. Raymond!(Raymond and Roxy)

[pravs_3 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Ready? Set. Raymond is about a young boy named Raymond who is quick on his feet and makes it through his day in a hurry. Each page consists of 1-2 sentences and a picture, at least on the Kindle version. The story features a young african american boy and his family who try to get him to slow down. A great beginner book for children who are just beginning to read. The book labales it as a step 1 book, recommending it for children preschool - 1st grade. I agree with the target age group and would recommend it for your collection.
