What makes these so great is how the problem is there, but they work together to solve the problem. But it’s not right away! They go through a few solutions before they find the right one. It’s something that’s realistic! Kids need to know early on that it won’t always work out the first time you try to figure something out. And you can rely on others too! It’s okay! Okay, I really love this series.

JY - first early chapters book. A little "Pollyanna-ish" but fun to see kids working together and having fun
