Written for younger elementary.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes (A Stepping Stone Book) (Paperback)
I bought this book as a gift for a fourth or fifth grader who liked mysteries, but I was disappointed to find it was less than 100 pages and was written at an upper second grade level. Before purchasing, I didn't see where any of that info was available in the listing.

Great Introduction to Sherlock Holmes for the Young Reader,
By Jean Marrapodi "Jean Marrapodi" (Providence, RI United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes (A Stepping Stone Book) (Paperback)
My grandson is in a detective phase. He has devoured Encyclopedia Brown and is fascinated by the whole investigation thing. This easy-to-read version was perfect for a second grader to master on his own and to introduce Sherlock Holmes, the iconic detective culturally referenced in many other things, including Veggie Tales. Funny, he referenced the Veggie Tales version when he read this, not knowing that this is the foundation the others were based on. I'm most grateful for the writers who create these easy to read versions to keep kids' noses in books.
