@Karritz - Those would be the junk food of the toddler literary world. But you see, it is only by consuming garbage every once in a while that we can come to appreciate the better things in life. May as well teach them that lesson early. I believe they do get credit for the books read though, which could be helpful if they work on the Writing skill when they are older. I let them read those, usually on their own, when it's clear they are going to get through the nine skill building ones in plenty of time before their birthday to child. :)
