Grumplets and Pests: 7 (Zoey and Sassafras)

My daughter just loves this series. Great book.

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!

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!

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

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.
