Imagination Station Books 3-Pack: Voyage with the Vikings / Attack at the Arena / Peril in the Palace

Was a big hit to read over the holidays with my 4 year-old grandchild! Thanks!

Good, clean books with a lovely historical aspect. We have young, veracious readers so its difficult to find chapter books that aren't too mature for them yet. They are pretty easy, quick reads though. Our 6 year old finishes a few of these books in a couple days.

molto soddisfatti

The Imagination Station series is a fantastic one for young readers. Written well for the age range, great adventures, good character building "lessons" included. Each book takes a quick trip back in time with real life characters and exciting destinations. Meet Leif Erikson in Greenland, Telemachus the Monk and Emperor Honorius in Rome, and Marco Polo and Kublai Khan in China in this starter pack. We ended up checking out books from the library and learning more about these historic figures after reading the books in this series. I've given these books to first through third grade and these have been enjoyed by all. If you're looking for a substitute to the popular Magic School House books, this is it (and better written!). At the end of each book there is a puzzle of some kind and the reader can solve the puzzle, enter the answer on an Adventures in Odyssey website, and gain access to an audio story. It's an added bit of fun. One note is that the books should be read in order, as there is a "mystery" that our heroes are trying to solve.

I love that I can trust these books to be entertaining and wholesom. Too often kid characters are snotty. My 7 year old is just starting chapter books and he is doing very well with a touch of help. Chapters aren't long so he doesn't get fatigued as he is working at it.
