Review: Don't expect your kids to expand their intelligence with these books. They are very simplistic books with a high disregard for maturity in any form. However, they are also incredibly popular with kids in grade school. I have found that they are a good transition for kids who are intimidated with novels. Some kids just can't seem to put down the picture books. These are a good transition because they are thick like a novel, but still have a lot of pictures. In fact, most of the story is written in a comic strip style. Kids also like the fun elements that are added into the books like the flip-o-ramas. These are like mini 2 page flip books, and they are dispersed throughout the story. Don't set your expectations on literary genius, but you can probably get a bunch of laughs from your elementary age child.
