Great Series to Develop Love of Reading in Boys

My nephew aged 6, was having trouble with reading, and worst showed no interest in books. I bought these books for him because they were recommended to me by a librarian. Like magic he became interested in reading these, and his reading took off. My sister-in-law then gave these books to a friend of my Nephew's who was having difficulty with reading at school, and the same thing happened with him as well. I would recommend these to anyone with a 6-8 year old boy who would like to see their child reading better, and reading more!

Get them reading!

I could not believe my 7-year-old son's reaction to this book. We've read a lot of books together, but I've never seen him act like this before. I read Dragon Breath to him. Then, for the FIRST time ever, he picked it up and read it himself. Again and again! I loved seeing the beginning of a love for reading. Now if I can just find other books that he loves as much...

A great book for early readers

This is the type of book kids love to read! It is a little spooky and a great adventure. My 7 year old son really enjoyed it. He reads it over and over again. The "Eek! Stories to make you Shriek" series is a very good way to create an interest in reading to your child.

Highly recommend this book.

I bought this book to read to my 4 year old. He LOVED it. It has just the right amount of suspense and "scare" to capture the imagination but won't cause nightmares.
