I bought several begining chapter books for my 6 year old, hoping a series would click with him and he want to read more. That's just what happened with Roscoe Riley. After book 1, he was hooked. They are really cute stories. Roscoe gets himself into trouble with his mischievousness, but he's a good kid. My sons laughs out loud when reading these books. And he loves that they always follow the same format, chapter one always starts out with Roscoe in time out. Definitley would recommend these books for a first or second grader.
– Roscoe Riley is rather good at getting into trouble for not behaving. In this book he pretends to have hurt himself because he was afraid to carry out a tap dance in the school talent show with his friend Emma. He enjoys tapping but not being made fun of by the other children that don’t think that boys should be able to tap dance or do any kind of dance. Eventually, he comes to his senses and does part of the dance with Emma. However, he ends up making a mess of things which in turn gets him into some trouble as well as lying and faking an injury did.I highly recommend this book for any child that is having a difficult time engaging in the book world. It has a nice lesson about following the rules and it has humor, which makes for a nice read.
My first Graders LOVE these books! We're ready for MORE!Tap dancing is not just for girls! My kids in class mention these issues all that time! "That's for GIRLS" or "That's for BOYS!"This was a fun way to touch on that with them.
My 3 year old grandson loves to listen to Roscoe Rules. We have all seven books on Audible. His mother appreciates that even though Roscoe gets into trouble it is more from bad judgment than from rebellion or rudeness. This book deals gently with gender issues and courage not only do what you want to do, and the struggle with swimming against the stream of peer pressure.
My son loves this series. It is a great for those beginning to read chapter books. Chapters are short and he enjoys the sense of accomplishment when he finishes. We have enjoyed reading several in the series and have begun to recognize the similar structure the author uses with each book which is helping my son develop his writing as well.Storyline begins with Roscoe in time-out, and then the bulk of the story explaining how he got there.i like the hidden lesson within the story. My son enjoys reading them and I would recommend them.
My second grade grandson loves this series. I bought them all for him and he reads with real expression, so it is a treat to listen to him. We have always loved the ridiculous in stories and this really appeals to kids of this age.
This is one of my favorite book. IT is great for boys and girls. This book has lot of humor in it.
My daughter just devoured this book. Any time that happens, I am satisfied. My kids are avid readers, so whenever they come home and ask for a book, I hop onto . I never refuse my children books; they're fuel for the mind. The Roscoe Riley series is great, kept my daughter reading.
