how it all began

It all started with a boy and a bully as well as a ghost guy and two monstrous guys.

Great intro to chapter books

This book, along with "Let's Bowl", was our son's first foray into true chapter books. My wife and I specifically picked books based on "Foster's", as he enjoys the show and we thought it would keep him focused. It's hard for a printed book to capture the quirky humor of the show, but the writers did a good job in adaptation. All the funny parts of the TV episode are there, though it certainly helps to have seen the episode to appreciate the humor. Fortunately, whoever's responsible for the book's layout did a great job of including a judicious amount of stills and images. So even if you haven't seen the episode, you still get a nice visual representation of it. And the book is written just long enough and with just enough five-dollar words to present a challenge to a 5-year old, but not so tough that reading becomes a frustration or the child is asking you for help on every other word. I plan on buying all future chapter books in this series, or at least until my son's interest in the show starts to wane or he is no longer challenged by the reading level.
