Hilarious, action-filled, illustrated mystery stories, jam-packed with crazy stuff that makes kids laugh-out-loud. Dash’s adventures will appeal to the whole family.

My son learned to read with the Total Mayhem series, and with his adhd and autism sometimes sitting through a book is the hardest thing. He loves all the books, and we've almost finally made it to the final book. We bought the whole entire series and read 1 chapter per night. It's great bonding time, and I love seeing him enjoy reading so much. These are perfect for him because the language can be sometimes challenging, but the photos keeps him entertained, so he doesn't get bored reading since he is too smart for most picture books. He's 9 and extremely smart for his age, but without the photos, he gets easily bored with books. These are so entertaining and fun that even my husband and I enjoy story time too.

If they do a little well and then the rest would not like that for them if the person would want their children at that moment because we have an opinion that the people don't understand why the government does that and what we need it will do not have any issues and we should see how to deal that.
