July 2017 - another of Ben's obsessions, and this one is short and sweet.

Excited to find a stack of early readers at the thrift store; this was one of them. A hit!
Leo read this for his daily homework reading.

January 2017: I don't love the teenage mutant turtle stories, but William loves them so that's all that matters. After reading it a few times together, he can now read it on his own to me.

A simplified version of Saved by the Shell! (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). This is a Step 2 book recommended for preschool to first grade readers. It includes basic vocab, a simple story, and short sentences.

Overall, it was good. I was a little disappointed that I had already read a book based on the episode, "Day One, Part One." Illustration are interesting. Ending is left pretty open, as it was based on a part-one-episode. I thought it was a little weird that April looks so happy at the end, even though her father just got abducted by the Kraang and she is now going to live in the sewers with a bunch of giant talking turtles (but the whole father thing wasn't mentioned in this simplified book so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt- plus, pizza).

Good for Ninja Turtle fans.

K loves the TMNT!!! This book is right up his alley for being able to read by himself as the words are easy, and there are just a few on each page. The pictures were colorful and just perfect to enjoy.
We all know the TMNT's love pizza and we get to see how they handle some bad guys and get rewarded at the end for the hard work.
K loved the book and I guess we will be looking for more Step 2 readers just for him.

This kids are starting to recognize the ninja turtles when we see them even though we don't watch the show. So, I got this book for William. He loved Nighttime Ninja, and he likes turtles, so it seemed a good fit. The book covers the very basics of the storyline, with the title page saying it is based off the first episode of the series relaunch.

Ah, the Turtles. I was a fan back in the day, and I was pleased when Mini-Me picked this out out from the library. This was a good way to get to know the Turtles, but I really wish April's appearance hadn't been reduced to a quick damsel-in-distress shot. If that's the way you're going to bring her in, I'd rather not see her at all. :P

I loved this easy-to-read book as a child and now my son, who is just learning his alphabet, carries it around the house, "reading" it to anyone close!

Cute! And the recipe in the back was good for my "Turtle Movie Marathon Parties"!

Good beginning reader book for Ninja Turtle fans. Not much to read per page, and if they know the story, they will enjoy reading a book about them for the first time.

Cute book. My nephew will like it, but he might get confused that they changed the turtles' names.

[Olivia Hutchings]

Read this to my brother.

Discovered in some of my old stuff. Bet I loved this when I was little.

I didn't like it because I had to read it by myself.
