Very basic, children's book to help with reading and reading comprehension. Inclusion of Pokemon always a plus.

Good introduction for the parent. The challenge for a 7 year old is reading the Pokémon names.

It tells me about Pokemon. I love Pokemon. I love its title. Its title is named, "Meet the Pokemon." I love the Pokemon names in it. The Pokemon names are good names, like Piplup and like Pikachu and like Turtwig and Chimchar. And it tells me all about what they evolve into and what their powers are. It tells me about Pikachu and Pikachu is my favorite Pokemon. When they turn into different stuff they grow a little bit. My Mommy helped a little with some of the words in this book. - Gabriel

My son was slow with fluency when reading in 2nd grade and I struggled with any book that sparked his interest and bless that lovable little ball of smiles, Pikachu. My son has every one and knows most of their names so this made reading this book a great way to connect his toys with their written names. This book is a leveled reader and there are many to choose from.

Finally--a pokemon book for the younger set...This one is on the way for my son, who needs a Pokemon book that he can read. It includes several popular characters--exactly what little ones want. I wish for a whole lot more of these...they would sell. I'd by them for my elementary school library!

A fun book to read about pokemon if you're a big pokemon fan. Learn more than you even thought possible.
