It’s no Magic Tree House. The story is disjointed. The chapters with the mini animals are fun to read. I wanted to like it more than I did.

This series is silly and science-y and perfect for those grade-school readers who are at a literacy level higher than picture books but they still want something with pictures - it's a nice in-between book with chapters and somewhat advanced words that also has illustrations. And, it has BROWN KIDS. Aaaaaand it's BOGO at Barnes and Noble, so when my first grader liked one, I bought the whole damn set, and he's been taking them everywhere with him since.

The Data Set are three kids who enjoy science. When selling candy bars to raise money for a field trip they discover the home of Dr. Bunsen, a mad scientist living nearby. Dr. Bunsen has a special laboratory filled with things the Data Set finds exciting. And, when he offers to let them try his newest invention they are more than happy to give it a go. Naturally, chaos ensues and the Data Set must work to set things right.
Good for Magic Treehouse fans.
Good for ages 7 and up.

Read aloud with my younger kids. Like many books this length and style we read the whole thing in one sitting. I offered to stop halfway through but by that point they wouldn’t hear anything about stopping.
This book is silly, fun, and exciting. It’s a fantastic early chapter book series and I love reading this style of book aloud because even my younger kids and special needs kid can follow and stay focused. This is not really a STEM book in that science is sort of there as a plot point, but it’s mostly just for fun. The plot is over the top in a way that kids love, but I found the writing engaging and I enjoyed reading it aloud, not skipping over badly formed sentences or repetitive words. Also, the ending of this one surprised even me! That does not happen often in these types of books. I’m so excited to find another series like this and we will be picking up book 2 ASAP.

My 4 year old now wants chapter books every night. My mom got him one of these books and he fell in love. We have already read the first 3 and have the 4th ordered.

One of the main character's has parents from Columbia and uses a few Spanish phrases. I look forward to reading book two. I hope it supports early science vocabulary and observation. Worth recommending.
