I came across this book in the Little Free Library near my house and thought it looked like an interesting, quick read. I never really watched the show, but had a vague idea of its premise going in.

This book was well-written. The descriptions were fun, interesting, and really helped the reader visualize what's happening. It is filled with a good amount of detail and I can easily see these shenanigans happening in the show.

The book includes two stories, similar to the layout of an episode of a show. I found both entertaining, especially splitting each story into Phineas and Ferb's adventures and Agent P's missions.

There are also black-and-white stills from the show that have good clarity (unlike so many other books that use blurry pictures) and they really help set the scene and break up the text.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would having not watched the show. Great read for young readers that are ready for medium-length chapters.

It's pretty much the tv series in book form. My kids love this show, so my son picked this book up from the library to be his reader. It worked well, increased his reading and vocabulary, and was just all the characters you know and love.

It was really good for a kids book.

My son and I love Phineas and Ferb and he and I have begun reading these small chapter books based on the show together. We use them to point out the "sight" words or spelling words they are studying in school, he likes to then use the highlight function on his kindle and notate them.

I love these books, as much as I love the show. I think that children should read On my way! and use their imaginations more as well, just like Phineas and Ferb do. By coming out with the books this allows them to not just sit in front of a tv screen to enjoy the wonderful world of P & F and see what is going on in Danville today.

I cannot lie-I occasionally watch Phinneas and Ferb with my little brother, so reading this book was no problem for me. Candace and Perry are after the same camera for various reasons. It is almost considered science fiction because of some of the characters. Kids who love the show will not be able to put the book down.

Just like the cartoon only more descriptive. My kids found this one (the first we've read together) fascinating and loved the pictures. I even learned some new things that I had missed during the million cartoons I've watched.

Very fun book for P&F fans!
