Buck uses alliterations to help beginning readers read simple words in a fun and creative way. Sid and Sam meet in the park and walk around singing in different ways and in different places. The illustrations are simple colored drawings that flow with the story and allow the readers to visualize Sid and Sam singing through the park. Beginning readers can benefit from the repetition that buck provides throughout the book. Overall the book provides a fun and interesting way for new readers to practice.

My sister's name is Sid and my son is Sam. All my life I've dealt with their constant singing. I was going to be biased from the get go, but I really thought this was a cute and fun story. I can't wait til my son can read it to my sister.

A fun read. You get to change your voice to SLOW and LOW and learn two meanings for "so long!"

A book for early readers with a lot of tongue twisters using the letter "S." It's okay, but not our favorite.

As far as phonics-based, beginner readers go...this one was just okay The words were mostly fine, but the comprehension was a bit difficult. Has lots of quotes, indicating spoken words.

A silly tongue-twister like read. I found it enjoyable. And it could be useful for dramatic vocal warm-ups.

"Sid and Sam" by Nola Buck, is about the friendship between Sid and Sam. Sam asked Sid to sing. Sid sings a song that is very long, too long for Sam. Level 0.4
