Goodreads description--When Jessie tries to join in the fun and games with Woody and Buzz, she finds out that some games are simply meant for two . . . until the gang rounds up a game that everyone can play—including Jessie! In super-brief, super-simple text, this book promotes the power of inclusion.

Me Too, Woody! is one that my son picked out from our stack of level-1 readers. In some ways the phonics principles in this book had a few that we haven't covered yet, like "ies." On the other hand, the sentences were really short in this book. I believe 2- word or 3-word sentences. My son, of course, liked that this was a shorter book. He didn't even stumble on any of the words I was worried about. Me Too, Woody! had some sneaky-E practice which my son needed.

Me Too, Woody! has repetitive words which helps build fluency, but I'm not sure if it is sinking in long term or if my son just noted them at the moment as being the same word. This book isn't a rhyming book which I can take or leave. I love being able to use characters he's familiar with in level-1 readers like this to reinforce that learning and reading can be fun. Me Too, Woody! gets 4 Stars. Have you or your child read Me Too, Woody!? What did you think? Let me know!
