Title: Cheerful, Imaginative Fun Reading
Review: O.K., so this book isn't "The Sound and the Fury". But it's cheerful; the siblings treat each other well; there's a touch of adventure, and it's a little sciencey, although in a very superficial way. There aren't any farts and boogers, faeries, or super dumbed down fantasy elements. It isn't frantic or hyper. The vocabulary is age appropriate and the length is good. If you don't like polar bears, well maybe the next one will take place in Rome or the Amazon basin or on the moon.Of greatest importance, my grandkids love these books and read them like crazy. It's nice to walk into a bedroom when one's asleep and see one of the volumes, with a bookmark in it, on the bedside table. You can read them together, or let a more advanced reader try it alone. Either way, very satisfying.So, while I wouldn't recommend a steady diet of these, (the formula can get a bit threadbare), the Treehouse books certainly seem to have a place in a new reader's library.
