These books don't last long enough; they are hard to put down.  The story content and characters are strong and well written.  Being a series, the characters continue from book to book and don't get lost.  The main characters change but favorites are still there contributing to the story line.

They don't last long. After a couple of students fidgeted with them, they began to break down. Some insides came out, they eyes and mouth came off and they lost their stickiness quick.

These books were hard to put down. It takes a lot to keep my interest, and these books managed to do that.

I love the story concept but the books are of very short duration. I enjoy the characters but book ends quickly.

These just don't last long enough.  We've bought 2 in 9 months and the second just died.  Would rather find something made to last this time.

I had these books as a child fifty plus years ago.  I remember them as being well colored drawings with big print which could be read by a child.  I also remember they were bound, if you can call it that, in hard cardboard covers with the pages glued in somehow so that they didn't quite stay open.  I don't remember how much they cost, but they were not at all expensive which was good because most of our families didn't have a lot of money to spend on books.  But I and many of the grandparents of today remember them gratefully.  I think the woman who complained about the binding is expecting something different and is losing the essence of what these books really were.

It had been so long between the first and second books, it was hard to remember all the connections, despite the beginning family inclusions.  Now that all three books are published, I would recommend that they be read in a shorter time frame.

Books of this sort are terrific for... oh, all sorts of things.

The only problem I have with them is that the riddles are too hard - we can't find everything!

Summer is almost here.  Time for reading and I love those books that are long enough and interesting enough to last a couple of days....if you find some time to put it down long enough to eat and get some sleep. This book is a great read and hard to put down but still doesn't last long enough.  I hope the author is working on his next book and that it's soon to be published.  Take this one to the beach, the mountains, the National Parks .... in other words take it on vacation with you.

My son and I are avid readers.  We usually consume at least 20 books per day.  He is 4 years old and perhaps this book is just too old for him but, I can't get him to sit through it.  I have tried about 8 times now because, I have never encountered him being so resistant to reading a book with me but we get about two pages into it and he starts asking for another book instead.  I feel sad because, the illustrations and theme are so wonderful...to me at least.

the product came as a loose leaf book as expected, but I find that loose leaf books do not last as long as paper bound, and certainly not as long as hard cover books. If you are looking for this book to last a long time I recommend looking for it in a bound form.  The holes punched in the pages fit a regular 3 ring binder. If you are going to put it in a binder like i did you'll need at least a  2'' binder to fit it in because it is pretty thick. The pages are a little glossy so they can be a little hard to write on in pencil.

My daughter has a saying, "Life is too short to read a bad book".  This fits that saying.  I tried reading it, got annoyed and ended that ordeal.

The idea of these books is great, but they need to make the book longer with more of a plot so that children have time to get into the adventure and learn the information.

These books only had a few pages and not worth the price

Perhaps it is the age of my son, but the book is not well constructed. The flaps of the page get bent and torn easily.  Also, the english words are very british - which is fine - but I didn't know that when I bought it.

Loving the content of books thus far. But when I got to the third book about 30 pages in the middle where had rough edges and were stuck together. I had to use a letter opener to get them apart and accidentally ripped several pages in the process. I'm rather disappointed in this because I take care of my books and display them proudly.

A newer version of these books just came out 2013.  You might want to wait for them or download them from the atitesting website if you have an account with access.
