Perfect beginner chapter books!

Perfect beginner chapter books!
I just received these today. Very quick shipping as promised.I got these for my 5 year old. He’s ahead of his kindergarten class, reading at a 1st/2nd grade level so I thought I should get something a bit more challenging to stretch his mind and decided to search for some beginner chapter books. I read many reviews as always before purchasing and chose this book series 1-4 and it was an amazing price! Very happy about that!So I had my son read it and he LOVED it. I told him 2 pages and then bed time. He asked to read another page so I let him. Then he asked to finish the chapter so I let him. Then he asked to read the next chapter and I just had to stop and told him he can read more tomorrow. I’m so happy he enjoys reading this. I’m explaining punctuation and quotations and asking him questions as we go among to make sure he’s understanding what he’s reading. And he absolutely loves loves loves it. I included pictures of the pages as that’s one thing I was looking for when looking at the other reviews which I didn’t see any. So I included some for those that would like to know what they look like. Some pictures-very detailed and descriptive but some pages have no pictures which force their little brains to paint their own pictures in their minds. Simply AWESOME! I definitely will be purchasing the next set of books soon.

my mother in law had heard about this series, and bought the 1st set for my then 7&9 yr old girls. they devoured them, particularly the 7 year old. they read all of them by the first week and requested the full series. the younger girl read up to 3 a night, leaving the family evening movie so she could get a head start on the next book in her bedroom. several of the books she read over 8 times. as they aged out they requested to get the merlin series. I wish the graphic novels were an option for them back then. there's a great variety of subjects covered, tho they do seem America-centric at times. since we don't live there, it was an interesting way to learn different history for us; but I wish there had been a bit more of the world stuff. the san Fransisco fire was one of the faves tho; read multiple times. since boy/girl main characters this is excellent for boys and girls, no matter their reading level. I think they aged up to Merlin around 10; but even when we sold the series on, one kid kept the Pompeii book since still her fave. the story lines are so good, that I think if a 10 yr old that wasn't enjoying reading at school, this could be a good way to get them into it. the graphic novel versions are more recent, so haven't read them; but I think it's a great idea, as my now 10&12 yr olds are really enjoying that medium.

My kindergartener and I have loved reading these together. It’s a great introduction to chapter books. There are still some black and grey pictures throughout incase your child isn’t used to chapter book style. The stories are exciting and fun. I love looking over at my son while I’m reading and seeing him deep in thought while his imagination is running wild. This was our first non picture book and it’s been a huge hit. We will be reading everything in this series.

I read these to my kids as their first ‘chapter’ books. It’s a good start for a book that keeps their attention, but teaches them to not see pictures on every page. Words they can understand and plots that they can comprehend. Just bought another set.

Nice story, easy to read for first time independent reading, not too long (just enough to keep their attention) and nice drownings again to enhance and keep them interested. My daughter loves those stories and she picks them without any prompting from me and she likes to retell them also.

My son just turned 5 and although he’s not reading himself yet, I wanted him to start getting interested in chapter books and understanding the want to learn how to read since not all good books are full of pictures. We read this before bed, a couple short chapters a night. They were great! He loved them and he learned things he didn’t know about pirates and mummies and castles....he wants to read them again now!
