5.0 out of 5 stars Great starter for chapter books!, December 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Collection (Books 1-4) (Paperback)

This is a great set of books for children who are past the "easy" reading books and need to move on, but not at chapter book level. My son loves this series. He couldn't put it down and laughed through them. I wish there were more Ricky Ricotta's books written. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Collection (Books 1-4) (Paperback)

The books are great, my 4 and 7 year old boys both love them. However, the quality of the construction of the books is poor. When you do the flip-o-rama pages, the pages fall out. The pages are being held together with scotch tape.

This review is from: Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Collection (Books 1-4) (Paperback)

I am not really a fan of Ricky Ricotta but my son asked me to buy this set for him. He enjoys these kind of books. I read one and found out that they were quite simple to read and understand. Filled with action and adventure. Bottomline, if you have an 8 year old boy or girl that likes reading comic books and likes a lot of action in them, then I would recommend this set.
