I love lots of diffrent kinds of books and I loved lots of theones I've read and I loved these books and they are in my top list. Irecommend these books to children who like adventure and fun in their books. Also I think it's very good for moms or dads to read to their children for bedtime stories and together time.

My son read Cricket in Times Square in school and enjoyed it so much he asked me to get him this book. He found this a good read and is now planning to read the Pigeon Ride.
