Several months ago, my son made the transition to chapter books. The former teacher in me was very excited, and I started making lists of series I thought he would enjoy. Unfortunately, one of the first books he brought home from school did not make me happy. As I read the first few pages, I was amazed by the disrespectful attitudes of the characters. I quickly explained to my son why I didn’t want him to read that particular series, and I steered him toward some titles that were more appropriate.
Because of this, I was excited to review two of the books in the Meghan Rose Series by Lori Scott. Meghan Rose is a typical first grade girl who will delight young readers. Lori Scott’s stories are certain to resonate with young, school-aged children. She masterfully combines the antics and humor that children enjoy with important lessons that will please both the readers and their parents.
In one of the books I read, Meghan Rose Has a Secret
To see if a young reader would appreciate these stories as much as I did, I decided to try them out on my son. Unfortunately, the pink and purple cover did not appeal to him. However, when I passed them on to two of his female friends, the response was much different. The girls thought the books were “very funny” and “great for girls”; and, of course, their parents were thrilled with the positive messages and attitudes portrayed in the stories.
I highly recommend this series for young readers. If you are interested, check out Meghan Rose’s website for more information and activities.
In addition to reviewing books, Lauren blogs about her daily life at Baseballs and Bows.
Jennifer previously reviewed the first two books in the Meghan Rose series on 5 Minutes for Mom.
I went to subscribe to this site and there is no e-mail subscription *eek* can ya’ll put one up like 5 Minutes for Mom has???? Pretty please 🙂
My grandson just made the transition to ‘chapter books’ also. I do love that there are great choices out there, and these sound like some of them.
