Leah’s Thoughts:

The Poppleton books are such a sweet spot for early readers. The chapters are short, the humor is gentle, and the characters are quirky in the best way. My boys love the silliness, and I love how the stories feel warm, friendly, and just a little unexpected. Perfect for children transitioning from picture books to their first chapter books.
