Both of these short books look appealing at the outset. They are
designed as high interest, low vocabulary short stories. . . .Older
readers who struggle tend to want to have books like their peers,
but they need short stories that help them develop their reading
ability. Younger readers like illustrations to assist them in
understanding the tale. These stories by Michael Dahl are a good
start.-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"
The illustrations are colorful and filled with action, sometimes
carrying aspects of the story that don't come through in the text.
. . .While these books are not comics, the words and pictures do
work well together to tell a complete story. Each one has questions
and writing prompts at the end to encourage readers to think more
deeply about the book. Reading one of these books is not unlike
watching a Saturday morning cartoon in terms of complexity. They
are filled with action and a bit of characterization, and the
colorful illustrations really complete the package.-- "SLJ's Good
Comics for Kids blog"
