kimck - we cross-posted. I only looked up one geronimo book, so i'm guessing there's a range in ability.

i still love calvin and hobbes! We haven't gone the comic book route with DS yet. He likes the comics in the sunday paper though.

I just looked them up on AR (Accelerated Reader) and most do seem to list there as 3rd/4th...

Hmmm, not sure why the link doesn't work...I also noticed most of the "4th grade" books are in Spanish, .

hmmm. must depend on the rating place, then. Scholastic seems to rate them at a lower level. thanks for the link.

I noticed that if you do a quick reply, you don't get an option to insert a full link. that's my theory as to why it doesn't work, but what do i know.

St Pauli girl, if you click on the link More in Series on web site you provided, you will find quite a few of them listed at the 3rd grade level. It looks like Scholastics has them as 2nd-3rd grade

Dottie, thanks for posting the link even if it didn't work directly. Another source of data Interesting thing about the Spanish translation.

DS5 loves Geronimo books. I think he is reading one as I am typing this.

oh, thanks. I am rather flighty and didn't bother researching further.
