Tales from Dimwood Forest Box Set

My son is in 5th grade and has never liked to read. He had to read "Poppy" for a class assignment so we read it together and it seems to have opened the door for him. He had to have the rest of the series and he read them all on his own. I also read them and was surprised by how much I liked them and really enjoyed the characters. These books are wonderful! J.

This boxed set is wonderful. You will be able to follow the sequence of events in the lives of Ragweed, Poppy, Rye and Erith. These lovable creatures will delight you with their antics.

Ereth's Birthday is a very cute and good book. I recomend it to people inbetween the ages of 8 & 11. I'm 11 but I still loved it. It's about this porcupine named Ereth and he thinks that his best friend and the mouse he has had a crush on forever forgot his Birthday. Then he decides to go off insearch of his favorite treat. SALT. Although he's a very determined prcupine he gets slowed down by a thick layer of snow. Through out his long journey he learns that he shouldn't think about just himself when his life is threatened. It is funny and sad in a few places but thats what makes it a good book. He makes up odd words like bubbled bat wings and slimy slithering snakes. But I think you should defanately read it.

My children absolutely adore this series. They just can't get enough. I have borrowed them so much from the library (and paid so many fines) that I finally bought the set. A great addition to your child's library!
