the mysteries

the mysteries and the rest of it is sooper clean and all kids would definitely love the books

A favorite of my 5yo & 8yo

My kids, 5 & 8, absolutely love this audio series. The narrator does well keeping the narration engaging. The story itself is perfect for elementary ages, it's both funny and interesting. I appreciate that throughout the story there are a lot of baseball facts for the kids (and myself) to learn. Also that even though it's a mystery there is nothing for my timid 5yo to be scared of.
We've owned the collections for about a year now and they're still an often listened to favorite.
(The main characters are cousins, a boy and a girl, this title is wonderful for everyone. Both the boy and girl characters are equally matched for knowledge, ability, silliness, etc)

So beautiful

I liked it better than the first time around I was there but it wasn’t that good of an idea at the end I just felt so rushed I couldn’t do anything else I just wanted a good day
