Roscoe Riley Rules #1: Never Glue Your Friends to Chairs

My second graders think the Roscoe Riley series are great! He's a character both boys and girls can relate to. They are hoping for more books in this series.

A very cute series for young kids. Its hard to find books without mean words or violence anymore. Even harder is a positive series featuring a young boy. Kudos to the author!

My 7-year-old reads at a 4th grade level, but he doesn't enjoy reading. Well, nothing aside from Pokemon books or Wrestling magazines. I've been struggling to introduce him to reading for pleasure -- a real book, you know, with chapters. This book is just what he needed. Chapter 2 is less than a page long. He liked that. I think he gets intimidated by long chapters and quickly loses interest. He read the first 5 chapters last night & wanted to read more. I'm sure he'll finish it tonight, but it's nice that he was left wanting more. I can't count how many books he never finished reading. Anyway, the book revolves around a boy who finds himself in trouble, although his actions are well-intentioned. It reads easily and quickly. The humour is really engaging. He is really enjoying reading this book. I'm sure we'll be looking for others in this series!

I picked up this book on a whim at the book store for my 8 year old son. He struggles with reading and this book seemed easy enough to read while not being too babyish of a story. I was right. He thoroughly enjoyed Roscoe's antics, not just in this book, but #2 and #3 as well. We just found out that #4 is now in the book stores. He asked me if we could go get it. I think we found a winner!

My five year old and I picked up this book and we love it. We sit together and laugh out loud at Roscoe's antics. I realized this morning, when we were reading out loud at breakfast, that he went ahead and read the entire book by flashlight last night. I believe that is his seal of approval.
