It's almost school picture day at Robin Hill School. There are going to be lots of empty spaces in Mrs. Connor's first-grade class — lots of empty spaces in the smiles, that is, because most of her students are missing a tooth or two. Except for Jamie — he still has all his teeth. No matter what he does, none of his teeth come out. Until...

My daughter loves this book. It promotes problem solving and boys and girls working together. The vocabulary is perfect for my early reader.

I loved this book so much I bought it for the family and took it into my sons kindergarden teacher to read to the class since they were having the "this is only for boys (or girls)" Great way to teach younger kids that anyone can do anything.

 Not for early readers, April 13, 2010
By Z Hayes

I feel that the "Robin Hill School" Ready-to-read books are somewhat advanced despite being categorized as Level 1 books. According to the description at the back of the book, Level 1 is "starting to read - simple stories, increased vocabulary, and longer sentences". Well, my 5-year-old is reading and can manage other readers at level 1 such as Barron's First Book series, e.g. A Mop for Pop (Get Ready Get Set Read) and also the Step Into Reading Ready to Read series, e.g. The Snowball (Step-Into-Reading, Step 1). She could not however read the Robin Hill School books fluently and independently (compared to the other readers I listed). I personally found them to be more advanced than other early readers categorized as Level 1 (sentences are much longer and the vocabulary used is also a bit more advanced). This is what confuses parents (as attested to by some of my friends) - some early readers appear to be too easy and some too difficult though they are labeled under the same level. However, I do understand that children also progress at different paces in reading.
Anyway, the stories in the Robin Hill School series are actually quite engaging and interesting. This particular story focuses on a first grader Jamie who is feeling a bit left out as he hasn't lost any teeth yet compared to his peers, and picture day is approaching! I do like the series (we checked the entire set out from our local library) as the stories are engaging and visually appealing. I plan to reintroduce these books to my daughter in a couple of months as she builds her vocabulary and reading skills.

 How to Succeed in the Playground, December 28, 2009
By Avid Reader

This is a story of a girl who is excluded from the boy's soccer team. She forms her own team of girls who, surprise, surprise, are better than the boys. Next page, the boys want to play with them. My 5-year old grandsons enjoyed hearing this book read to them, because they both wanted to learn how to make friends at kindergarten recess. But they only wanted to hear it once.
It didn't really help them learn how to make friends when they were new to the school. Liked the message to include everyone in the game, but the underlying theme is so 1970's--girls can only get in the game if they are better than boys. Is that still true? Hmmm
And for those who say "lighten up, it's just a children's book," a book, especially a child's book, can be extremely influential. And a powerful antidote to video games.

Our three year old son really enjoys this book. He loves kicking balls around in general, so the story line and the pictures were perfect. I enjoy reading it to him, too, without burning out on it. Great book! I've purchased extra copies for gifts. A++++
