PARENT REVIEWS

“Our 7 year old son is hooked on this series. They are the first books that he has read avidly to himself and have really helped his reading for pleasure take off. We can't get him out of a book now! - Parent reviewer, Amazon

“My 6 year old has loved these books so much that when we got to the end we started all over again at the very beginning. Most average 6/7 year olds can read these books by themselves but we like reading together and as a parent some books are a bore! These are funny entertaining and exciting even for the adult/narrator!” - Parent reviewer, Amazon

“Got these out of the library and my son (7) chain-read them, he could no get enough! He's not 'into' dinosaurs but the well paced plot, engaging characters, lively drawings and short chapters kept him hooked”. - Parent reviewer, Amazon
