Great for first grade boys5
My first grader loves the Ready, Freddy series. We have all the books, and enjoy reading them together. The main character is a first grade boy who loves sharks. Freddy is a good kid, with a realistic relationship with his big sister, and simple (though important) problems. I read one chapter a night, and now that he's improving in reading, my son is starting to read some on his own! Also, each of the illustrations has the word "fin" hidden in it. It's fun to look for it.

While we like Junie B., she can get into a bit of trouble and uses some language that we don't. Ready, Freddy is a better fit for us.

I would recommend5
My son loves these books! They make him laugh. I have purchased all of the Ready Freddy Books published so far and will continue to do so. He is 8 years old and they seem like the reading level is made for children his age.

Good beginning chapter books4
My son discovered the Ready Freddy series in 2nd grade and we own most of them. He didn't like the June B. books and Freddy was a good alternative. I think they are very good early chapter books because they aren't super long and the vocabulary isn't too difficult but it still pushes their reading skills up. The only reason I give 4 stars rather than 5 is that the stories can get a little repetitive- the bratty sister, the uptight mom, the bully being a pain, etc. I wish Freddy were less of a wuss but as far as the reading goes I think it's good for kids getting into chapter books.
