Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A welcome new paperback series features first-grade boys and girls who are members of Pee Wee Scout Troop 23. Delton has a keen ear for the joys and miseries of being a six-year-old. In each book, eight short, well-paced chapters chronicle such trials as the boredom of school for those who already know how to read and spell; the frustration of having bigger feet than rich, stuck-up Rachel; the shame of crying at camp from homesickness. The conclusions are satisfying, the cover and interior illustrations diverting. This series should quickly garner a following. Ages 6-8.

This review is from: Camp Ghost-Away (Pee Wee Scouts) (Paperback)

This book was assigned to my third grade son to read and then complete a book report. I have read every page with him and although it is a good story there is a lot of name calling in the book. I am not sure what this adds to the story or what lesson it teaches. I feel as though the dialog could have been handled completly different. I also had a problem with one characters who continued wanting to put a hex on the other characters. How do you handle, "Mom, what is a hex and why does that girl want to do that to the other girl?" I have not shared my opinions with my son. I only confirm his feelings when he suggests how a character should have talked to their peer instead of insulting them or name calling. I am very interested how his book report turns out.

Please give us something of quality to read for children at this reading level. I think there is enough name calling in our regular day, we do not need it when we are curled up in our favorite spot reading with our children.
