Arthur Chapter Books

Here are quite a few exciting chapter books starring Arthur, the loveable aardvark on PBS' most popular television series for kids.

Magic Tree House Series

With their strong characters, imaginative plots, and just the right dose of history and science, Magic Tree House books are the perfect choice for early chapter book readers (ages 6 to 9). Plus, teachers, parents, and kids will love the Non-Fiction Research Guides that accompany many of the titles in this fun-filled series.

Horrible Harry Series

Harry inevitably orchestrates the most horrible things, like putting a vial of ants into the refrigerator. But Harry isn't always horrible, especially when it comes to Song Lee. His growing devotion to her gets him into some awkward situations. "As Cleary has done with Ramona, Kline gives readers a character so true-to-life that he will come to be a friend." - Booklist. (These stories are in chapter format, perfect for transitional readers - ages 7 to 9.)

Junie B. Jones Series

In 1990, when a generation of new readers met Junie B. Jones - the funniest kindergartner/first-grader ever - they fell in love at first read. And guess what? Now she has her very own collection of books in Braille! A fabulous gift for those millions of Junie B. Fans, or a wonderful introduction for the uninitiated, any of the titles in this series will strike a cord with readers aged 6 to 8.

Little House on the Prairie Chapter Books

The nine original Little House books have been read and cherished by millions of readers. With simple captivating text, Little House Chapter Books capture the spirit of this beloved pioneer girl and invite beginning chapter book readers into the magical world of Little House. This glimpse into America's frontier past brings Laura's cherished stories to a whole new generation of young readers aged 7 to 10.

The American Girls Collection

We highly recommend the American Girls collection of books that tell the stories of six American girls who lived long ago. The stories are told in an entertaining and historically correct way to show how each girl lived in her own period of American history. There is a short section at the end of the story "Looking Back ..." into the past era of each girl. These books are suited for girls from ages 7 and up.

Timeless Tales Series

Myths. Fables. Legends. Tall Tales. There are hundreds of beloved stories that have been told to generation upon generation of delighted children. But no one has more vividly brought these tales to life than Tanya Reiff. Many, such as The Fox and the Grapes and Paul Bunyan, the Lumberjack are well-known favorites. Others, though, such as The Wind and the Sun and Why the Sea is Salty are sure to keep the whole family guessing. This is a wonderful series for anyone who enjoys much-loved, well-told stories from long ago.

Books by Beverly Cleary

Beverly Cleary's gift for understanding the tangle of thoughts and emotions in a child's mind and heart is remarkable. Luckily, in addition to being empathic, witty, and astute, Cleary is also prolific. She has created countless best-selling children's books, and been presented with many awards, including the Newbery Honor for Ramona and Her Father and for Ramona Quimby, Age 8. (In this section, you'll find all the books ever written about Henry Huggins, Ramona Quimby, and Ralph S. Mouse.)

Cam Jansen Adventures Series

This mystery and adventure-filled series is perfect for transitional readers aged 7 to 10. Cam (Jennifer) is just a tipical fourth-grade student. Yet she and her friend, Eric, are well-known in their small town for solving crimes and catching older kids red-handed. It's all thanks to Cam's photographic memory. When something goes wrong in the supermarket, at the fair, or during a contest, Cam just looks back on her memory-film to catch anything fishy. Readers will delight in how she and Eric soon round up the crooks and save the day.

Encyclopedia Brown Mysteries

Meet Encyclopedia Brown
His friends say he's better than a computer for getting answers: Encyclopedia's brain doesn't stop during a power failure. His father, Police Chief Brown, knows firsthand that Encyclopedia is the reason that no one in Idaville ever gets away with breaking the law. And his enemies - Bugs Meany and Wilford Wiggins - would do anything to put Encyclopedia out of business - if only they could think half as fast. There's no case too small - or too large - for Encyclopedia Brown. The answers to the ten cases in each book are found at the back of the book - but can you solve the mysteries first? Don't miss a single brain-twisting book about Encyclopedia Brown, the world's greatest super sleuth! (For ages 7 to 10.)

Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Series

Adventures of the Bailey School Kids Series

Melody, Liza, Eddie, and Howie are four ordinary kids, attending school at Bailey Elementary. For the most part they get along with the teachers and fellow students, do their homework, and pay attention in class. But ordinary ends there. Everywhere they go, these four kids encounter the most incredible people: A teacher who seems to be a vampire ... A counselor at summer camp who's behaving an awful lot like a werewolf ... A new janitor who looks and acts like jolly old Santa Claus ... These four have pretty big imaginations, but there's still lots of things they can't explain. Each adventure is bound to be wildly funny and just a touch scary. And now you can look at twenty of these most-popular books in Braille!

Boxcar Children Series

Four adventurous orphans take up residence in a boxcar and begin to solve mysteries. This is the premise of the beloved Boxcar Children series, begun in 1942 by Gertrude Chandler Warner and still going strong. Today's young readers continue to seek out Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden and their dog, Watch, whose exciting exploits are described in easy-to-read chapters. By the end of the first book, the four children are reunited with their wealthy grandfather, who moves their boxcar from the woods to his yard. From there, the independent Alden children begin to make names for themselves by solving case after case. "Kids, trains, and mysteries make for an all-aboard formula that remains hard to beat!" - Alice Cary.

Each volume is short enough to be read in one sitting, yet presents an astounding amount of information in a well-organized and interesting manner. These books are great for kids ages eight through eleven to read for pleasure or as research material for a class project.
