Another great series! Sweet stories about friendship and caring for others--often animals! A very accessible series for beginning-to-read chapter books. This series hooked my somewhat reluctant to read daughter, who saw her twin sister gobbling up chapter books, to read more than one chapter at a time! She is very proud of her reading abilities now which has given her the confidence to move on to other chapter books and series.
My granddaughter will be going into the second grade (I started to buy these for her at the end of 1st grade), they are an easy read for her and she loves this series of chapter books!
My daughter is 8 and it is a fun appropriate book for her age group. She enjoys all the books. She has from 1-12 and reads them faster than the author can do a new one.
Great books for learning to read!
I bought this to read with my young daughter (5 yr). I think some of the characterization was ultimately too mature, and also a little biased. I skimmed over the parts about the character's divorced parents and all the details about what divorce is (might be a good pick if this is something your child has experienced). Also, it is a bit outdated. The girls in the book are stereotyped often and there are many sweeping generalizations about girls and their assumed interests. In chapter one, the girls: play the game MASH and choose future husbands, paint their finger nails, braid and style their hair with pink hairbrushes, talk about pure bred horses, etc. Here is a direct quote, "Her tight black curls bounced over her headband. Ellie tossed her head dramatically... Ellie grabbed her pink hairbrush... Singing along with a pop song, like an actress on stage." I do not recommend this for any girl or parent that encourages progressive ideas about gender roles.
