5.0 out of 5 stars I think this is the best Nate the Great adventure., November 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail (Paperback)

Rosamond's present slid off of her sled. Nate the Great walked to her house and noticed that there were 6 cartons of milk on the table. Rosamond had only 4 cats and each cat drank a single bottle of milk. What could the other 2 bottles be for? Nate followed the tracks from Rosamond's sled in the snow. This led him to a tree by the tracks. He looked up into the tree and found his present, a cat named Super-Duper Hex. You will enjoy this book if you like Nate the Great. I liked it because it was a tricky mystery to solve.

This review is from: Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail (Paperback)

This is a great book, full of basic sight words, to get kids into reading chapter books. The words are easy, but the pages are longer so kids feel that they are reading harder material. It builds stamina and success. The story is cute too.

This review is from: Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail (Paperback)

Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail is a fun mystery for any early reader. Nate the Great books are mysteries to be solved by very young readers. My Nate started reading them at the end of kindergarten and first grade. He loves to help solve the case. In this book his friend is delivering Nate an early Birthday present when it suddenly disappears from the sled she was carrying it on. Nate has to find a present that Rosamond will not identify. He knows only that the present fit in the sled with Rosamond's four cats and left no marks in the snow when it disappeared. Not an easy case with little to go on. If you follow the clues along with Nate the Great it will surely unravel before you.
