Zoey and Sassafras Books 1-6 Pack

This is my daughter's first set of chapter books and she loves them! It makes her feel like a big girl, and she loves to announce to the household when she's finished a chapter. It offers great discussion of what she anticipates will happen next. This series teaches kids how to investigate, gather clues, and problem solve (critical thinking skills) through the use of magical creatures. The icing on the cake is that the quirky, curly haired, curious and adventurous main character mirrors her. You wouldn't believe how hard is to find something representative, exciting, and on reading level in mainstream book stores. I think this is excellent for all young children.

Super cute series!! Full of Science and imagination. My daughter absolutely is obsessed with this series. She's learning to read but this book makes her want to learn faster and the short chapters actually builds her confidence in reading. Each book is a new story with new creatures and filled with great information that is perfect for kids.

This is a great series that keeps my daughter’s first grade brain excited to hear about the magical creatures and exposes her to the scientific method, which I love.

no dislikes love the kitty Sassafras and the girl and her mom and dad seem to be a nice family - I've read the first 2 books and already hooked! - but in book 1 it sets the stage with the magic animals -she and her mom share the ability to see magical animals but the dad doesn't though the mom told him about it - so it's something she and her mom are sharing, at least so far she conducts experiments to determine things. the pics are black and white and are cute andd there are actual ch apters with what I think are a lot of words along with a short glossary in the back. I'm in my 50s and enjoy the story so they're holding my interest

Great book series

This series is great for kids who love animals! My 6-year old daughter has been extremely reluctant to entertain the idea of reading a chapter book. However, the cute cat (Sassafras) perked my daughter’s ears. The pictures are a necessity and once my daughter realized she could read the words on the first page it was a huge success. The chapters are short (1-3 pages). The story is relatable yet magical. And the use of the scientific method sneaks in teaching. She completed the first book in a week by reading for 20 minutes every night for 7 days. Once she finished book #1, I immediately gave her book #2, which she greeted with squeals of excitement. I wish there were more series books like this that are gentle and inspire a sense of wonder for those of us with sensitive children. Update: Book 5, page 17, Chapter 3 page is torn so half the page of text is missing. Looks like a press error or during packaging. Not sure how to read this page since it’s not online anywhere and Amazon won’t replace the single book b/c we ordered the series.

Excellent books, I got these based on the many great reviews and they did not disappoint. A good 2nd or 3rd grader reader could get through these on their own, I read them to my first grader. I have to admit I thought the print job seemed a little cheap at first but I quickly got past that. Perfect amount of pictures to keep her interested, love the positive/supportive relationship between her and her parents. I love the science knowledge that is woven in with the fun magical world. We’ve read 4 out of 5 now and they are all equally good. My daughter begs me to read extra each night but I torture her by telling her that that’s all until tomorrow night. It’s so refreshing to find a book where the kid isn’t rude, naughty or a sneaky liar but instead is responsible, enjoys life and is smart abs willing to take educational risks. Well done, please write more!

These books are excellent! Cute whimsical illustrations, fun stories that get kids excited to read the next chapter! Fun even for the parents to read- no more suffering through terrible plots. ;) I love that the author "sneaks" in educational items too like the use of the scientific method and Petri dishes and hypothesis! So genius! I hope the author continues to write many more!

Conceitos científicos como método, hipótese e conclusão estão salpicados na história mais fofa. Zoey e sua mãe pesquisadora, ah e seu gato Sassafras, conseguem ver e ajudar criaturinhas mágicas que os procuram. Coisa mais linda! Inglês para leitores inciantes, que já encaram capítulos curtos.

These are so good! My grandkids love them so much, I bought them in audiobook form for long drives. The stories are fun, intelligent and unique. I bought the next 4 in the series as well!

My daughter and I both love the Zoey and Sassafras series. The stories are lovely and present basic scientific concepts in an accessible, fun way, with a touch of mystery and a whole lot of monsters thrown in for good measure. And of course there's the strong, curious, all-around-awesome female protagonist! These are fantastic stories to read together, and since they're chapter books, early readers (LO is 5) can just pick them up and read at their own pace time. We're definitely hoping for more.

My daughter really enjoyed reading these books. Well written and easy to read for a 9 year old.

I love this series. I read them to my boys and love the female lead and fun engagement in the scientific method.
