My daughter really hates chapter books. I've been looking for something to transition from page filled pictures to less pictures and more words. She's 8 years old and could read Harry Potter if there were more pictures. I found these books and decided to order. I just received it today and she was done in a matter of 20-30 minutes. The book isn't the traditional right to left reading, it has bubble thought and such about and plenty of pictures. She enjoyed it very much and I'll be buying more in the future...
Olive and Beatrix are twin sisters. Olive loves science. Beatrix loves magic because she is a witch. She was born exactly at midnight during a full moon. Olive was born normal a few minutes later. One day, Olive plays a trick on her sister Beatrix. Beatrix gets revenge but, with a spell, accidentally turns a bucket full of spiders into HUGE spiders. Using Olive's science knowledge and Bea's magic, they have to chase them all over town and try to capture them and shrink them back down to size.Scholastic branches are book designed for readers who are just starting to get into chapter books. They are a great bridge between the easy readers with few words and lots of pictures and the chapter books with no pictures. This looks like a graphic novel, but not everything is in comic boxes, there are just one or two pictures per page. There a colorful pictures and dialogue clouds, short paragraphs, and it is divided into chapters. I definitely recommend this to beginning readers in grades 1-2. The story is fun and appealing as well and introduces basic science concepts. Great series!
Have you ever wanted to be somebody else or something like a witch? If so, what did you do?Olive and Beatrix are twins, that is nice to have a twin sister. Except, Beatrix was born at midnight and she is a witch. Olive was born a few minutes after midnight. And she was a regular person. They had fun together, although Beatrix played a lot of tricks on Olive and her good friend Eddie. One date O,I've and Eddie decided to get back at Beatrix. Beatrix hated spiders, so they collected a big pail of them and put the pail on the door. When Beatrix went through, you can imagine what happened. When you read this book, you will understand what occurred and how Olive, Beatrix and Eddie worked together.Parents/teachers will enjoy reading this book to their children. The children will like this story, because it will make them laugh and have fun. They might also discuss how they would play a trick on other people. If your child is at a reading age, this is a good book to move on from Reading One. The illustrations by the author are bright and vivid and depict the adventures of Olive, Beatrix and Eddie. The author, Amy Marie Stadelmann, tells us she does not have a sister who is a witch, but she does have a dog who barks.This is a well written, fun to read book, either by yourself or for parents/teachers to read to you.Recommended. prisrob 07-13-15
My daughter only reads graphic novels so I will get her any graphic novel she asks for.This is a perfect story for young readers of graphic novels or for reluctant readers. It is a small chapter book with no intimidation.The chapters are small and full of colorful illustrations. Inside the illustrations are word or thought bubbles to help the story along.Olive and Beatrix are twins only one is a witch and the other not due to one being born at midnight during a full moon and the other two minutes later.Olive has a friend named Edward who does all kind of science projects with her while Beatrix loves playing tricks on them. One day they decide to get her back and although the succeed using what Beatrix is most afraid of Spiders. Unfortunately the spiders get into one of Beatrix potions and become the biggest, hairest spiders ever.The three must work together to shrink them using magic and their wits.It is an adorable story with using humor and working together to get the job done.We also love Beatrix little talking pig, Sir Houston. He is adorable and funny!
This is a clever little book written for parents who are ready to help their children explore scary things like "the dark," and "spiders!" The reading level is for 2 or 3 graders.The story is narrated by Olive, who is super smart girl and has a twin sister Beatrix, who is super different... she is a witch. These two sisters not alike AT ALL and the story is about how they can get into trouble together and get closer to each other through the disaster they create together. Despite their differences, they solve the problem and work together in the end. Love that!I have two sisters and thought this was a great "take" on sibling differences, and how in the end we are all very much alike, especially when we work "together" to solve problems. Loved that too! The two sisters create a very "out of control" problem and then fix it TOGETHER. Good story for that as well.There is a also a neighbor, Eddie, who is Olive's best friend, and an adorable talking pig that has cute things to say throughout the book. After reading it about a half a dozen times, I noticed that there is always something "new" that I see on each page after each reading. The graphics are adorable and very, very well done.... and there is always a LOT on each page to see and enjoy. I thought this was a wonderful little book full of creativity, learning and problem solving!
