9 Puzzle-Mysteries (Lunchbox Libraries , Vol 2: Read While You Eat)

Summary: Something special everyday
Review: My daughter loved these books, I wish there were more since we've gone through both in the series. Everyday I'd pack her lunch, a pencil and one page from this book where there's a spot on the back of the page for a special note for you to write. I'm a single parent with a fulltime job but I did find the time to pack lunch with one of these pages - other mothers started coming to me wondering where I got the book since their children would play along with my duagher at lunch. Highly recommended!

Summary: Great idea to keep the kids reading
Review: This is an excellent way to get the kids reading, thinking and having fun at lunch. The Lunchbox Library "Six Wild Adventures" was really a better concept, with a storyline to follow and a daily installment including a synopsis of the story to date. The 9 Puzzle-Mysteries sometimes require the use of a pencil, which makes it not as suitable for "lunchboxes". Nevertheless, both volumes of Lunchbox Libraries are wonderful, the kids love them (and their classmates get in on the action). I only wish they would continue the series - we've been through both books and would love some more. This mom gives the books a high recommendation and thinks they are perfect for the younger crowd, too (ages 7 and 8).
