When my daughter started school, the kids had to read things like "the cat sat on the mat." She hated it; it made no sense to her (she is very smart). I found this book series, full of fun poetry and rhymes - she took to reading like a fish to water! Today, at 18, she reads voraciously, 200 pages an hour! She still loves those books! If you have a reluctant reader, this is the book of magic!!!
