This series hasn't done well at my library. The students aren't as charmed by the adorable artwork
as us grownup's are. The text complexity and many cultural references are a bit
advanced for early readers. Those old
enough to understand them are wanting larger less childish books. If the series
is popular with your students, then by all means this is a book you will want
to pick up.
