5.0 out of 5 stars Got my 8 year old to read!

My eight year old hated reading and refused to pick up any book, until this arrived in the mail. He as usual refused at first to read it but I made him read a couple of pages, which he did and put it down but the next day he asked to read it and read the entire book in 30 mins. He said he loved it and it was really funny. Already have the 2nd book on its way.

I read this out loud to my two grandchildren ages 4 and 6 at bedtime. They're so excited to be reading a chapter book and they LOVED it! The book's quirky sense of humor is great and it was fun to hear the kids giggle. We loved how the sloth appears in each story. They couldn't wait for the next night to read. Mr Angleberger- please write more!!!

This book is adorable, fantastic! I bought it for a 6 year old boy - he loved it - and his 10 year old brother loved it just as much. The three of us read it together and laughed out loud! It is written for a K - 1 - 2 grade level. Just wonderful! Kudos to the writer and illustrator!
We're really looking forward to book #2!

A nice switch-up from the Captain Underpants series. Gift your grandson or son in grades 1-3 with the first book of the Inspector Flytrap series...illustrated by the talented Cece Bell, a writer in her own right!

Its a really fun book! We read it to my 1 and a half year old and he likes it for a while it just doesn't hold his interest for very long yet. Not enough pictures and the pictures that it does have are in black and white. Im sure he will enjoy it more when he gets a little older though!

Le encanta a mi hijo que se lo lea, es fácil el lenguaje por lo que se puede traducir al momento si quieres contárselo en español. También es ideal para que comiencen con la lectura en inglés niños de 8 o más. Es largo pero muy fácil, y la historia es muy divertida.
