My thoughts about the Elisa books from the Riverside Kids series are all collected in my review of Russell and Elisa.

[Sherry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice family story, ala Beverly Cleary. The protagonist is five, but the reading level of the text is most appropriate for a reader age 7 or 8, though.
