review 1: Tried to use this one as our read out loud selection but I think the author is foreign or something because she had many very difficult names and words in this book. My son got frustrated very quickly. Some examples were: Officer Tomiello, Bijou Drive-In, faux, wiliest, fascinating, Eugenia Lincoln, inspirational, and figure of speech to name a few. Perhaps for older children this wouldn't be so difficult, but my avid reader 6 yr old had a hard time of it.
review 2: Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes is an enjoyable finale to the Mercy Watson series. What happens when Mercy Watson goes to the drive-in theater for the first time? Adventure!I enjoyed all of the Mercy Watson series, as did my just turned 7 year old daughter. I liked DiCamillo's wit... morety story and the illustrations that further bring it to life. I highly recommend reading the stories in order as the characters from the earlier books are used throughout the series.My daughter enjoys reading these books to herself and out loud to me. They fill the gap between traditional early readers and early chapter books. These books are chapters books, however, the vocabulary is not overly complex nor too simple. These are confidence building books for children who are bored with traditional early readers, what to read chapter books, like some of their peers, but are not quite ready to take that leap. They are enjoyable, fast pace books that are delightful to read out loud or to yourself. less
