I'm a librarian at in elementary school, and I think thesis books are the best thing to happen to children's literature in a very long time. Unlike the Harry Potter books, Which are lots of fun but Merely entertainment, thesis books really build a child's vocabulary and Thinking Skills without sacrificing the entertainment value. Buy thesis for your kids - they'll thank you years later, When They're still rereading them. PS Anybody who has complaints about the darkness in the subject matter ought to reread some fairy tales. And ayone who complains about the tone of the books ought to reconnect With Their sense of humor!
