Meet Meg & Pug
Discover beautiful stories designed for early reading success.
Meg & Pug Are Just the Beginning!
The right books can change everything.
That’s why we’re building Beautiful Books, with thoughtfully crafted decodable stories kids can read independently.
From the author of the award-winning All About Reading program, Beautiful Books brings trusted literacy expertise to young readers. Your child will grow in confidence—page by page.
Why Our Books Feel Different
Many “easy” books ask children to guess or memorize words they haven’t learned yet—and that’s hard on kids.
Our books are different. They’re designed to help children succeed right from the start.
We meet young readers right where they are, then gently guide them forward with stories that feel doable, so they can proudly say, “I can read it!”

What People Are Saying
"I'm a reading interventionist, using Meg & Pug with my students. These provide such wonderful practice for my 2nd grade students who are still working on CVC words...so these books were perfect!"

"The Meg and Pug readers are lengthier and more colorful than many beginning readers, and they should work well alongside any program for practice reading words with only short vowel sounds. The stories are a little more imaginative than we usually find in beginning readers."
(From Cathy Duffy Reviews)
"Wonderful early reader books! My 6-year-old loved them, and I can already see how they help build confidence in new readers. Simple, engaging, and fun to read together."
"Another great option to encourage early readers to continue reading on their own with words they can decode. The Meg & Pug early reader series from Beautiful Books will make a great addition to your home library."
"My kids and I love these readers! The stories are relatable and the characters are so fun!"
