This three-story compendium provides a gently stretching read for 7 to 9-year-olds, or three perfectly paced bedtime stories.
From a review on Amazon.com:
"The books are very well written for the 7 to 9 crowd. Not overly simple or purely declaratory; phrases are descriptive and well turned, dialogue is snappy, and astute observations and subtle detailed grace notes add some heft to the tale. All in all, good as a story, good as a written work, good characters, good hero and good humored. A very nice find for your young reader."
