5.0

1) I wish I could turn into a dolphin
2) I forgot how violent these books could be for a kids series
3) My adult imagination conjures up the Taxxons to be way more grotesque than when I was a kid. Absolute nightmare fuel.
4) Andalites are adorable.
5) Did I say I wanted to turn into a dolphin?

I don't care if this is easy reading pulp designed for those aged 10 and up (although I think I read these aged 8). It is engaging, nostalgic pulp that relaxes my brain after studying for my AML diploma. It also needs a new TV series or film quite badly, please and thank you.
