But as with all new readers, sometimes the book is too hard, sometimes too boring, sometimes too babyish. Keep trying and give them a variety of choices. Most early chapter books are written as a series so that you can keep the winners coming ... because the only way for kids to get better at reading is to read. No other way around it.

Why I love this book:
Early chapter books can be tedious so I am always happy to find one that has snappy enough writing to keep me interested. This one was spot on and not too repetitive. The mystery was a cute twist to keep the arc of the story going.

Who this book is for:
Kids who like Princess Posey should gravitate to these stories. This is also good for kids who like animals as every story has an animal theme - bet you never guessed with a name like The Critter Club! Large type and pictures on almost every page make this a good book for kids just starting to tackle chapter books.
