[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried the Magic Tree House series? My preschooler is an advanced and voracious reader and these are very enjoyable. [/quote]

No offense but these books are trash literature. Very, very poorly written. [/quote]

No they aren’t trash. They are enjoyable and written at a basic basic level to encourage young kids with basic reading skills to read more. They also encourage curiosity regarding the world around them [/quote]

I disagree and so do others. It’s the literary style that I can’t stand:

It’s the staccato style of writing that lacks rhythm. conjunctions and descriptions.

Sorry but these reviews are kind of ridiculous. Give your child heaps of different books with different literary styles, sure. Let them pick out what they want from the library. But my kids got so much enjoyment out of these books - it kept them reading for hours. I pretty much let my kids read whatever they want and they are both vociferous readers. I hesitate to not allow children to read something they enjoy just because it's "easy." Reading should be enjoyable. [/quote]
