Title: Good for reluctant/slow readers
Product review: My son started getting these books when he was around 9. He's a huge Harry Potter fan but those books were a bit intimidating--the size of them just keep growing (great for me, not for him!) I read each Spiderwick before he did and found them mildly entertaining--and Tony DiTerlizzi's illustrations are fantastic! My son was excited about each one and read them a couple times each. I thought the books were well-planned and carefully created. These don't really look like children's books--the hardcovers have a leather-bound appearance and there's a colorplate at the beginning of each book. This lends to the books being perceived as something for older children; which is great when your child has a hard time reading but doesn't want to read "baby books."
