Mom Thoughts
This first chapter book series is filled with loveable characters and sweet stories. It’s heavily illustrated with large print so while it feels like a chapter book, the chapters themselves don’t become overwhelming for a newly independent reader. There is a fairly strong moral compass throughout as most times a character does or says something unkind, the behavior is corrected. While I wouldn’t say these are books of enduring literary merit, it’s a nice series. The stories themselves are quite lighthearted and a perfect fit for a young animal lover.
