Innovation Press Merhorses and Bubbles: Zoey and Sassafras #3

Wonderful story that captured my 7 year old son completely again. We are currently testing every patch of water we come a cross for pollution.

The Zoey and Sassafras series has been by far the most engaging and enjoyable chapter books that we have read together so far. It features a clever, independent young girl of color, her brilliant mother, her adorable cat, and many fantastical tales that combine and cultivate a whimsical imagination and a deep love and wonder for science and all the many ways that it interweaves itself into our daily life. The books encourage exploration of the natural world around us, but they also spark imaginative play, and, of course, teach many wonderful lessons along the way. In each book, Zoey performs at least one experiment that is easily replicated at home, almost always with items you would already have around your kitchen. It’s such a fun way to bring another level of immersion and learning to these fantastic books. It has been really neat for my child to see Zoey’s experiments in action. As of writing this, we have just finished book 4 out of 6 currently published in the series. Asia Citro’s books are so well written and enjoyable that I find myself absolutely treasuring our reading time together on a whole new level whenever Zoey and Sassafras are on our reading menu. Not only have I eagerly bought the whole set—one book at a time as we finished them off—but I’ve found that my child is extra eager to dive into chapter books now. Oh—and the illustrations are ADORABLE. I can not praise these books highly enough, and I am so relieved and excited to see that she is working on a 7th book to be released later this year.

Bought for my 6 year old - really enjoying the stories

We love these books! WE are just now reading the third one. They are truly wonderful. It is nice because my just turned 5 year old loves reading and all the other chapter books I have tried are too mature for her (saying things like stupid and shutup). These books have a good message for young girls and do not use any "bad" words (as we call them in our house). She can't wait to find out where the "bubbles" are coming from (we are on chapter 9). So glad we found the Zoey and Sassafras books.

Lovely written book
