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! The plot is well paced and the length Pthe chapters and suspense just right for a new reader.” - 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! Can very highly recommend ALL the books in the Dinotek series we buy them for all our friends.” - Parent reviewer, Amazon
