Entertaining Books
Grandson has read all the books but doesn't have copies of them, so I purchased them for him.

Great series for beginning readers
First off, ignore the people giving one or two stars or criticizing the grammar. They are full of it. Only the types of English teachers that made you spend hours diagramming sentences in high school would have an issue, and they would probably give "Huckleberry Finn" one star for the atrocious grammar too, if they dared.
Far from an illiterate mess, the stories are well put together and very entertaining for my 4 and 5 year old children. The tie-ins to historical events and people are interesting and lead to lots of asides and explanations (I'm a history buff). The main focus has to do with the two protagonists learning leadership, courage, patience, honesty, commitment, and all the other virtues. And there is just enough magic and fantasy to make it all lively and interesting for children.
I highly recommend this series for ages 4 through 6. Older than that, and the stories may seem a little simple and the vocabulary rather plain, depending on the child.
The non-fiction books that accompany many of these titles (focusing on the time period of that paticular book and what really happened) are also a treat, and much more in the line of the austere educational materials sought by dour school-marms. :)
