A to Z Mysteries Super Edition #10: Colo

My daughter is obsessed with these books. They’re below her reading level as a 4th grade who’s reading high school level books. But she loves them and the mystery.

As a first grade teacher for many years, I have always loved Ron Roy's A to Z Mysteries. I often read the first book, The Absent Author to my class as a read aloud and I loved seeing how it hooks children in reading. Well, I have my own first grader at home this year and I have to tell you that the genius of these books is even more clear to me now. This year I have read more than half of the series with my son and each one is highly addicting and fun in a unique way. We recently discovered the Super Editions as well. These editions seem slightly higher in reading level but even more mysterious! Also, we loved figuring out the hidden message buried throughout the book in its illustrations. Decoding the secret message was so much fun that the whole family got involved. Well, we just picked up Ron Roy's latest Super Edition (#10) Colossal Fossil. It does not disappoint! Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are on vacation in Boston while tagging along on a parent's business trip. While there, they are spending the night in a museum that features large dinosaur skeletons. Don't miss this fun book! I highly recommend it and all of the rest of the books in the series. If you have a struggling or disinterested reader at home, pick up these books and start them as family read alouds. You will have your child (and you!) hooked in no time! The only problem our family has with these books is putting them away at bedtime. There is always a plea for just 1 more chapter!

All the A to Z Mysteries have made for hours of fun with my 6 year old granddaughter. Despite living 1300 miles apart, we’ve stayed connected through these books. I read in FL and she reads in NY then we chat by phone or FaceTime and talk about them.

It wasn't the kind of cover I needed to replace the one I lost from the library, but it still makes up for it.

Given as a gift. No complaints voiced.
