Nate the Great Goes Undercover

GREAT short stories on simple deductive reasoning and small problem solving hidden I a funny mystery / crime for kids! Plus extras like recipes and games. I bought this for my second son because the first enjoyed the hard backs so much. Hard to find now. Great for young female aspiring Nancy Drew's. And I adore them too for the humor and pancake recipe.

I do not yet own this collection, however I checked it out from the library almost 6 wks ago and just now returned it because we could not renew it anymore. My two 3yr olds just LOVED it. They listened to it almost every night. The stories are shorter than some of the other audio books we have listened to, maybe 15 or 20 mins. apiece, so they are perfect for the car. They offer humor which my 7 yr. old loves. Nate also likes pancakes, which my kids find hilarious - and he has a dog, which now my boys are sure that we are going to get too. (we are not) If your children are a little bit older, they could probably follow the books while being read to on the CD. The books have lots of pictures which really makes my boys happy. My daughter read the books a year ago, in between kinder and first grade, and she still likes the cd even though she knows what will happen next. This cd is a big hit in our family and I will acquire it soon.

I already had this book, but ordered several more copies for some of my first graders to read. It is a good story for your higher first grade readers, because it is still grade-level appropriate when it comes to content.

I really enjyed that the Kindle version has a glossary and comprehension questions for this story. I was thinking it was a chapter book , but it is a picture book (level K).

For Teachers: there are some really cool book study's onTeachers Pay Teachers that go along with this book.

We borrowed this from the library first and listened to it enough to get a copy at home. The narrator is great and both of my boys (5 and 2) have memorized a lot of the narration. :) They listen to it as a bedtime story and they're usually asleep by the end.

My boy has struggled with reading. I have been looking for some books that would be interesting to him but not too hard to read. These were perfect. He loves them and reads them to his little brother. He also loved the pancake recipe at the end of the book and made them. They were great!
