These aren’t too different from the novels we’d get at the Scholastic Book Fair. Captain Underpants definitely comes to mind.
They gave my kids a stepping stone from short children’s books to chapter books so it’s not all bad.
I agree. Some kids need extra motivation to get them to practice reading so it really shouldn't matter how dumb the subject matter seems. Whatever gets them to open a book and practice is good.
Instead of „shop now“ I read „slop now“. Definitely a fitting misread.
These books were released WAY before the LLMs
slop was a thing way before LLMs
If I had kids, I'd rather they stay on their phones.
Hey, at least with the books they'll have to use their imaginations to visualize the scene!
