I read these books first when I was in the fifth grade. They are charming and funny and spark the imagination. If you are interested in juvenile sci-fi or want to get your kids interested, these are some lesser known, but very worthwhile, books.
Good, but not the best the series has to offer......

This is fun to read simply because of the time period it was written in--the late 50's. You can enjoy the innocence of the 50's before America went to space firsthand. This series was written by Eleanor Cameron on the prompting of her son. I agree with the other reviewer--this is not the best book the series has to offer. The illustrations are very good though. I say if you enjoy nostalgia and great writing, you will want to read this book and the rest in the series.
