I read this with a 3rd grade class, thinking they would love the series. Instead, they were instantly bored and had trouble paying attention. The stories have "clues" that are not mentioned. or require specific background knowledge most children to do have. For instance, one stories involves china. What child knows knows much about this? Perhaps they know they eat off china on special occasions, but that is it. China is going to pull in a young reader? I cannot think of a better way to put boys to sleep! I loved this series when I was young, but have realized it is not relevant for children today.
