Reviews

"...the novels in this series provide good transition material for children who are moving from picture books to novels.Children who read these novels all by themselves will, like the narrators, feel justifiably proud of themselves."

Barbara Novak - London Free Press

"...it is no surprise that this series is a winner. Entertaining and funny and presents believable characteres interacting in a natural way. These First Novels are sure to become First Favourites with many beginning readers."

Fred Boer - Quill & Quire

"The large font and grade appropriate vocabulary will appeal to children making the transition from picturebooks to narrative text. The informal language...adds to the book's appeal. Children...will also be able to identify with the characters and the situations in which they find themselves. The delightful, black and white cartoon drawings by Yvonne Cathcart add to the book's appeal to young readers. Shoot for the Moon, Robyn invites readers to join in the readers so that transitional young readers can experience the enjoyment of sharing and discussing what they read with others."

Janice Foster - Canadian Materials

"This chapter book combines excellent dialogue, a complex plot, likable characters, believable psychology, sparkling humor, and valuable life lessons into 49 brief pages. Featuring large easy-to-read type and highlighted by Cathcart's whimsical black-and-white illustrations, Shoot for the Moon, Robyn is a captivating early-reading experience that touches on many of the issues that are close to the heart of the primary age reader. Above all, it's fun. Highly rcommended."
