Good series for young kids

A very cute series for young kids. Its hard to find books without mean words or violence anymore.

Fantastic

This series got my 6-year old son reading chapter books. They are really funny. We love them.

My Son LOVED all 4 of these

My son (second grader) read these in record time. He laughed out loud. He said these were the best books ever.
