Summary: Mishmash
Review: I loved these books when I was a child, and now I am hoping that all the Mishmash Books will be rereleased so I may buy them for my children. They are full of light hearted childhood thoughts and fun, innocence and goofiness. It's too bad that some of the books in the Mishmash series are out of print. These books should sit beside everyone's Beverly Cleary books as another example of good children's literature that tells a fun story to kids, without being stuffy and full of moral indignation over right and wrong.

Summary: A book better suited for six to eight year olds
Review: This book says it if for 9 - 12 year olds. This book, while the story is rather funny, is not something preteens are going to enjoy. It's pure stupidity would only appeal to the younger crew. Don't buy this for your 9,10,11 or 12 year old. If it looks terrific then buy it for a six or eight year old. The story doesn't really go anywhere and it ends with a feeling of discontent. While a bit of laughter for older ones is lurking in a few pages it is obviously written with younger kids in mind.

Summary: Great series! For any age!
Review: When I was a little girl, my Grandfather decided to learn how to read. In my whole life, I have never seen such amazing humbleness and courage. He was 80 years old, and the Mishmash series was one of the first things that he ever read. It was so encouraging to see my Grandpa doing something that he'd never done before. I ended up picking up his old copies and reading them. They were one of my childhood favorites! I'm glad to see them again.
