I love these books

The parent reads the left side and the kid reads the right page. The lowest books the parent has the most words and the kid has one word sometimes a word that is highly predictable because it rhymes and the picture clues them in or maybe a color word or something. The gradually get harder as the book levels go up. Very fun snuggling up close to share the reading. After a kid has grown out of a level as a shared reader it then can be read by the child alone.

Here is a sample of the lowest level....they do get harder...
