Critical Reviews

Katie Woo, a well-established early chapter book character, returns in a new series alongside her friend JoJo. In the first title, the pair visits the planetarium, and in the second, Katie's grandpa takes them to the aquarium. These early chapter books are ideal for emerging readers transitioning into longer texts. Each page features just a few sentences and a large, colorful ­illustration, helping to keep readers engaged. The simple, relatable storylines--like ­outings with friends or grandparents--­mirror experiences many young children may have had themselves. VERDICT A gentle, engaging series perfect for beginning readers; ­recommended for purchase, especially where Katie Woo titles are already popular.-- "School Library Journal"
