"These stories are riveting! The student who was reading them, was not happy when we ran out of time! The plot is interesting and relevant to the age group. The topics are clever and interesting. The artwork is amazing and realistic. The focus on the target phoneme is seamless and not forced, it fits nicely into the story. I would highly recommend this series.”   Shannon Delong, verified purchaser.
