Scholastic The Notebook of Doom, Books 1-3: A Branches Box Set: A Branches Book

My46year 0is girl loved it

My children (ages 5 and 6) loved these books! I read it to them and every chapter I'd finish they'd ask for me to continue going on. The chapters are short, lots of pictures for little ones to look at and the content really grabs and holds their attention. I had to go ahead and purchase all of the other ones available in this series because we breezed through this one so quickly and they were so excited to continue on to the other books. One thing that I liked was that these didn't have a lot of name calling, or using words that I don't allow my kids to use (i.e. Stupid or hate). I'd looked at lots of other books for their ages and didn't like a lot of the language used. I was amazed at some of the things they'd say. So I was very pleased with these in general. There were a couple instances of name calling but it was silly name calling, nothing mean or hateful I found. I would def recommend.

Really cute stories about such well designed [and not very scary] monsters. Perfect for the fantastic mind of my 7 year old boy, and I’m a pretty protective mama. Girls would like these books too. I like them! So creative. It is about a boy whose dad is a dentist and he doesn’t have a mom but it’s not mentioned. Could be kindof good for kids who have lost a mom and are ready to try and move forward. Or for single dads. It also tackles how to win over a bully, and there’s a cool little girl. The three of them are fun friends.

Bought this for our 8 year old on a whim. He usually reads chapter books at an older level but after having someone recommend this series I thought I'd give it a try. He LOVED reading these. He has asked me to get more for him! He's not the biggest fan of reading but once he finds a book he enjoys, it is't pure torture for him...and that was the case with this. The fact that it's 3 books in once was great as well. Highly recommend these!

My 6 year old daughter reads and re-reads this book every day! She loves it!! The author came to speak to her class during their book fair last month and she’s been hooked on these books ever since. I’m getting more of these books for her for Christmas.
