The Judy Moody and Friends series is the best series you can get for your children that are entering the world of chapter books. It isn't too easy and isn't too hard - there are paragraphs that are more than a couple sentences a page like "older kid" books, there are a few more challenging words that young kids haven't seen before, but not too challenging that they can't figure out what they are. I really love the paper (I know this is such a weird thing, but the smooth glossy paper is so much more appealing visually and texturally to myself and my kids) and there are a few pictures throughout the book. I love the blend of a chapter book but also having appealing pictures for creative/visual children. These are the perfect bridge between mostly picture books and chapter books for new readers. My daughter has been flying through the series and she loves them. The characters are cute and have their own personalities and hobbies and each have their own books in the series (Jessica Finch in Pig Trouble, Amy Namey in Ace Reporter, etc.). The books are short enough to not be overwhelming but long enough to feel like an actual book with a storyline. Wonderful read. Read more
