Good purchase

My kid (8 yrs) likes mysteries a lot so this was a Christmas gift for her. The book seems good but she still needs to understand the meaning of many words and eventually the context of those words in the sentence. It will take some time for her so I can say, these books are little tough for her but in a few months or so she should get a hang of them.I will review them again once she finishes them.

A collection of Misery Seriesa

This is a great collection of books with pictures and bold text. Our 8-year-old granddaughter has completed three books so far and loves them and looks forward to reading the rest of the books. The story was written in simple language and she understands the story well and is able to narrate the story with every small detail. Kudos to the author.

Book series

I bought this book series for our school library. I was hoping to read to the 5th grade. The words on the pages are for a younger audience. They still enjoyed them.

A Great Way to Introduce Young Detectives to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

A terrific way to introduce young children to one of the most famous detectives ever – Sherlock Holmes.Thoughts:To be perfectly honest I have read several or many Sherlock Holmes books, but I don’t generally remember all the titles. There are some titles that get stuck in my memory perhaps due to a show or movie where they are referenced, or if it was required reading in high school, such as The Hound of the Baskervilles was. So, when I selected A Study in Scarlet from Netgalley it wasn’t until I started reading the first chapter that I realized I have read this before – more than once. That’s when I truly looked at what I had selected. I initially had thought it was a new detective story aimed for kids with Sherlock Holmes featured. However, what I found was that it is the actual story, adapted for a younger audience and with lots of illustrations that provided additional information along with humor.To help bring Sherlock Holmes to life, this book is filled with illustrations. In fact, almost every page has something on it – some are small pictures of a pocket watch or revolver. Some illustrations show what the character is doing. For example, there is an illustration of Sherlock lounging very melodramatically on a sofa in his bathrobe after Watson describes how Holmes spends his time some days.In addition, sometimes there are notes provided to help with difficult words or ideas, such as when Holmes reads a telegraph message that had been sent. There is an illustration of the telegraph and what it includes, but it also goes a little further and provides in a type of call-out box what telegraphy is, since most kids probably aren’t yet familiar with it.A Study in Scarlet is one of 10 books in the Sherlock Holmes Children’s Collection box set. In addition, the box set also includes a read-along audio book for each story. I had an opportunity to listen to an audio example from The Reigate Squires book and enjoyed the voice actor’s version very much.Some of the stories included in the box set are The Sign of the Four, The Red-Headed League, The Blue Carbuncle, The Speckled Band, The Sussex Vampire and others.I recommend this to all young budding sleuths and detectives as a way to learn about an important literary character along with some historical information.Rating: 5 starsThanks to Netgalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for the reader’s copy and opportunity to provide an honest review.
