To think this is too challenging for a 4.5 year old?

Name changed as DC school could recognise this.
My 4 year old started reception in September.
Barely learning how to write out short words at this point.
School said child was doing well with reading - sent them home with a new book (picture included).
Am I being unreasonable to think this is too hard for a beginner?
DC would struggle to read easier books than this. Maybe they are trying to encourage DC? I fear this is so difficult it will just discourage them. Or maybe DC is very behind for their age?
Help!

This is way too advanced for reception first term unless your child was blending and segmenting words.

You read the story and the child reads the speech bubbles
