Grumplets and Pests: Zoey and Sassafras #7

Love this series! You can buy them in packs to make a great Christmas gift (Usually I see them as 6 books for ~23.00, I think - which is a great price!!!). Reading level is 2nd grade, so if your little one is an early reader they may be able to read it in 1st grade. The stories are great for older kids, too. I enjoyed them and I love that it teaches kids science as part of the story. Also, when Zoey faces a problem or makes a mistake, she carries on and finds a solution. She's a good role model for any child. The website also has a couple of experiments and worksheets (free) for you to use if you want to really learn about the science lessons in each book.

Great series, science based but fun. My 9 years old loves it!

This series is AMAZING!!! My 7yo has read all of them. Sometimes she’ll read a whole book in one sitting. For sure something to peek young children's interest

We adore Zoey and Sassafras. These books were given to us from the Kindergarden reading buddy program. And we could not out them down. They are clever and funny. Zoey is bright and observant. She is a scientist like our son wants to be. This is a great introduction to chapter books! I highly recommend this whole series.

I started buying these books for my 6 year old son after his kindergarten teacher recommended them to us. My son just absolutely love them. I find the stories so cute and I love the science aspect of them. Zoey is such a sweet and curious and caring character. My son can read them on his own easily but I love them too so we love reading them together. We can’t wait for the new ones..

My kids (7, girl, and 10, boy) love the Zoey and Sassafras books. They read the books over and over. Just enough excitement to be interesting, without being too scary. They are fascinated by how she helps the animals with science. The books have helped me to talk with my younger child about the pandemic, and how the scientists are working hard to find treatments and cures, but it’s hard work and takes time.

We love Sassafras and Zoey books by Asia Citro. I've been a fan of Asia's blog for many years, and I was over joyed when she published her first Sassafras and Zoey book. All the books in the series present just the perfect touch of magic as little magical creatures come to Zoey for help, my kids can't put the books down. What I love about them, as Asia presents the scientific method and a variety of science topics into such fun little books. My kindergartner is a strong new reader, and he hasn't quite had the confidence to read this one himself, but his second-grade-brother reads these books in less than an hour. Sassafras and Zoey make great read-aloud books and can maintain interest for kids 4 years old - at least 8 years old.

My daughter just loves this series. Great book.

All the Zoey and Sassafras books are a huge hit in our house. I especially like the educational angle and it helps us for science when we are writing up our experiments. Must read whilst wearing science googles!

Review by G., 5.5 years old: In this book, the grumplets made the animals grumpy, but I still loved them because they were so cute. The grumplets are very small and furry, and there are pictures of them in the book. The pictures are great!

This is the greatest book. My daughter and I laugh all the way through and love learning about science along the way!
