    We have the general horrible science one - love it, I think I like it as much as DS 5.5!!! Can't wait to get more. Are the magazines worth it, aren't different enough from the books?

    The best part about books like that is having my rather proper mother call to say, "Ds left 'Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets' here."

    I must admit, I had quite the giggle saying "Deputy Doody" lol!

    I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...

    DS almost 3 is reading the MTH book on Thanksgiving and The Nutcracker. He also reads a book on digestion over and over again.

    Yes recommend the magazines too, dd has the books too but the magazines she is obsessed with, I think because their colorful and come with goodies, like a heart or the lungs, or a skeleton and at the end of each there's a couple of pages with activities which she loves

    My reluctant reader has found a book he loves !! It's "The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook" by Eleanor Davis - this is part of the description on Amazon -
    "Grade 3-7�Julian Calendar, 11, is a supersmart transfer student trying desperately to fit in at his new middle school. Just when he starts to believe that he'll never find his place, he discovers two other brilliant minds and together they form the Secret Science Alliance. These three braniacs create their own book of blueprints for such cunning creations as the stinkometer, sticky and dangerous gluebombs, and the flying Kablovsky Copter.""
    It's a graphic/comic book novel - perfect !! Shame she hasn't written any others like it yet !!
