Heidi Heckelbeck Is Ready to Dance! (7) Paperback – Illustrated, March 5, 2013

My granddaughter is 8 and I am a children’s librarian. I recommend this series when she was ready to move on from Frog and Toad type books into the longer chapter books. She was immediately in love with Heidi and insists on finishing the series. It’s been a great confidence building experience for her, and I love the way the author uses a slightly flawed character, like real children her age, to teach a lesson without making it seem so obvious to the reader. The magical elements of the stories are not anything sinister or dark either. I recommend this series for those building confidence with chapter books.

My daughter LOVES this series. Every time I buy her one of these books, she reads it in one day! She loves everyone of them. The reading teacher at school has recommended it to other girls and they also love it. My daughter turned 8 a couple months ago and she is in 2nd grade. These are excellent books for her age! Easy read. Not a ton of words on the pages, but just enough for a 2nd - 3rd grader depending on their reading level. My daughter gets intimidated by big books, but this one is perfect. The chapters are not real long either. I highly recommend this series for 7-8 year old girls.

Love this series for my 8-year-old who does not especially love to read. Easily read in one or two sittings, good amount of suspense to urge her to keep reading, enjoying the multiple books in the series. Still has a few pictures, which is great! You won't be lost if you don't read them in order. Many of the characters are the same but one story does not build upon the next.

As with all Heidi books, I love this story and the characters. This is a great series that I think all little girls would enjoy. There are pictures on every page and the characters are very easy to relate to.

My 1st graders love this series!

Very well written and highly entertaining.

GRANDDAUGHTER LOVED IT.

great books! My 7 year old loves these!
