Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of pop!
My kids love this book.They are not ready to read it themselves, but they have enjoyed it being read to them. They are four and five years old.They find this book very funny, especially as the characters are pirates afraid of the water, driving a van instead of a ship and with pets that make fun of their efforts.My kids picked up phrases from this book and they quote it often.This is a great book for small children. ...

Oversimplified
This book has been oversimplified, which makes it dull and boring.It is nothing like the original.It is very repitious and does not allow for the children to really understand the moral of the story.

Cam Jansen is at it again, saving the day!
You have to love Cam Jansen.When you're a kid, you read all of these stories about magic powers, mystery, and adventure.But everyone tells you magic can't exist.Cam Jansen manages to solve every case without the use of magic... she's a real girl.That's what makes her special and what makes you want to red more and more.Cam Jansen is a real kid superhero, and the thought that a person like her could actually exist... makes her the best kid detective ever!

Young Cam Jansen Rocks!
My 3-year old loves the pictures and the story line, and knows just when to say "Click!" along with Cam. It Runs in the Family
I remember Cam Jansen from when *I* was a little girl (and I am 27 years old).I always loved reading the mysteries and couldn't put them down.Now I get to share Cam with my own daughter. The Young Cam Jansen books are perfect for younger children.My daughter is 4 and 1/2 years old and loved the book!She has been reading since she was 3 years old so this was right on her level.It was enjoyable for us to read together and also for her to read on her own.She listened intently and helped Cam solve the mystery.By really thinking and solving the mystery, it gave her such a boost... I think that is one of the great things about the Cam Jansen books... they are "easy" enough for the childern to solve and they can be very proud of themselves for using their minds to solve mysteries. I highly recommend Cam Jansen and Young Cam Jansen books!Parents, don't be surprised if you find yourself reading them, too! ... Read more

Easy to Read
This was easy for my four-year-old to read because she knows the story and it was easy for her to anticipate what the wolf was going to say and what Little Red Riding Hood was going to say.She likes the repetition and the familiarity; however, the ending left a lot to be desired.She was like, "Well, if you're not supposed to talk to strangers, then what about the woodcutter?Did she know him from before, or is he a stranger, too?"Then she asked me a million questions about why the grandmother wasn't covered with blood when the woodcutter chopped open the wolf.
Excellent Author-Top Notch Book
Zeifert proves once again that she is the premiere author for the first grade set. The words and sentences have a later first grade readability. The story is the original one that we have been accustomed to, even to the point of the wolf eating Little Red herself. She comes out OK in the end. Iread it to my daughter and she loved it. As a licensed literacy specialist,I review books for this age group and highly recommend it. ... Read more

Great Illustrations
This is a sweet retelling of an old tale,but what makes it prticularly good are the charming illustrations by Julia Zanes. Both my six year old and 10 year old daughters love it and we've given several copies as presents this winter. ... Read more

Presents for Santa
As to the content of this book, the editorial reviews pretty much say it all.Yes, the story is slight and the rhymes contrived but my kindergartener was so proud that she could read the book ALL BY HERSELF!I would recommend this book highly to any parent whose child is a very beginner reader and wants a book that is not so much of a challenge but, rather, a book that will raise the child's reading confidence.Both my daughter and I also enjoyed the pictures.The book is also a good read aloud book for my 2 year old because it is easy on the parents' ears and is not too wordy for a 2 year old with a short attention span. ...
