My 6 year old son loves this series. The books are infused with science facts by the befriended robot Thudd, but the story is easy enough to follow along and includes enough pictures to keep my son interested throughout the book. The first couple of books are about Andrew and his cousin Judy getting shrunk down smaller than an ant size and what happens to them when they try to get themselves unshrunk. Although the books are a series, you could pick one up out of the series and there is enough background from the previous book to follow along. I would recommend to any parent who is looking for a good series book, who wants to expose their kids to a bit of science while reading a fun adventure, and there are a lot of books in the series so it will take awhile before you have to find something else for them to read!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: In the Garden (Andrew Lost #4) (Paperback)

I liked Andrew Lost--In the Garden. The book was about Andrew Lost getting lost in the garden. It was interesting how they got all of what they had to get done in exactly one hour. It was a little funny when the bugs did the work for them. I learned that there are tiny creatures in the dirt that help make soil. I would recommend this book.
