Humor & Suspense make a first rate children's story - 4-1/2 stars

"The three stories are well written and include the elements that make a good children's story: humor, suspense, and just enough danger to give the story some tension without being too scary. Also, each story is short enough to hold a child's attention. I don't usually comment on book covers, but the cover art is pretty cute, giving Archie a child's face instead of an anatomically correct spider's head, which would have been really scary...." J Chambers: Top 50 reviewer

Good Bedtime Story

"I'm not certain what age group would be able to easily read this, but it makes an excellent bedtime story for kids, including my own granddaughter who is enjoying exploring the world. There is danger, but not enough to stress out little kids. And they will relate well to being small in a very big world, just like Archie ..." Roberta Karchner: Top 50 reviewer
