This is the gold standard for 'transitional' readers. It’s smart, it’s stylish, and it doesn’t treat kids like they’re dim.
If you’re tired of the repetitive, soul-crushing prose found in many early reader series, Bink and Gollie is the antidote. It’s funny enough that you won’t mind reading it for the tenth time, and the vocabulary boost is a nice bonus. It’s a must-own for the K-3 library shelf.
