All of these books are very sweet with gentle conflicts and themes for friendship. Perfect for 5+ (though my 4yo listens, she does not yearn to hear the story and often loses interest). Some first graders will be able to read this series on their own.

It was a perfectly fine as far as little kid books go. There were a lot of puns and it was... painful. I usually ask my 5 year old to rate the books we read on a 1 to 5 scale but she has a difficult time understanding the metric. She usually just says 5 or some nonsense like 'broccoli'. What's wrong with these kids? I didn't ask her this time. I am in charge and I am giving it 2 stars. That's generous. I am the most benevolent ruler.

Very cute and in theme with Purrmaids series, but the theming was a bit much for me. Cute read though.

Cute books with good lessons.

[Chibimagic · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute generic story about Christmas.

Appropriate for: all ages!

My 6 year old daughter loves purrmaids. I like that each book has a good lesson and the purrmaids all have unique personalities. I only wish there were more pictures.
