Transitional Reader

A series of short story books that easily weave together into one longer book will keep kids hooked and invested in the continuing adventures of Nick and Maxine. Repetition of key character traits and plot points are paired with the introduction of two new characters: Mr. Noodlekugel and Drooly the Bear. The illustrations are wonderful black and white illustrations that perfectly highlight key moments and humor presented through the text on the page.
