Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These books are great! I bought this set for my 7 year old grandson. We read two chapters last night and he was completely engaged! On page 3 he says "grandma, I can see the children in my imagination! I see them walking down the road". By the time we got to the second chapter, he says "Why don't you read one page and I will read the next page". My plan is working! I am hoping that within a couple more evenings, he will want to read these books all by himself as he falls asleep. UPDATE: night 3, we read the first 5 chapters together, and he wakes up the next morning telling me how the books end! After I left his bedroom - assuming he was going to sleep - he pulled out the last book in the series to find out what happens to the children! He couldn't wait to know! And the best part is he picked up the book on his own to read. I am super happy!
