    • Cute story! My 6 year year old is a fan!
Format: Paperback
We're on our second reading of this book since Christmas. I read this to my 6 year old kindergartener, and it alway gets him giggling. He asks about what various words mean from time to time, but I'm happy to help build his vocabulary. It is also the first "chapter book" he would let me read to him. The chapters are nice and short, with larger font and lots of pictures. Not intimidating at all for him! ... show more

    • Fantastic Book!
We LOVE the Mercy Watson books and we read them over and over to our four year old. This was a great continuation of the stories from the characters on Deckawoo Drive. Kate DiCamillo is a fabulous writer and I would highly recommend any of her books. These introduce some big vocabulary in a fun way for young readers with plenty of context clues to help them figure out meaning and they are hilarious! I enjoy reading them to her and she really loves them. I can't wait for more! ... show more

    • Enjoyable for reader and the child
Format: Kindle
Leroy Ninker is a book that your kid and you will enjoy. Read it out loud to different age groups and they all enjoy it. Four year old had a bit of a hard time following along but she enjoyed it. The pictures are great

    • Some words I don’t appreciate for my 6 year old
Format: Paperback
My 6 year old is reading this to me for school and the story is really cute but there are some words used that I don’t really like. Exclamations that I don’t really want my kids using (like heck) so I’ve had to skip over them but for a slightly older audience maybe it would be okay

    • Funny...but you gotta embellish
Format: Kindle
I'm not sure my son and I appreciated this book in the manner the author intended, but we had great fun. First, find Sid the Science Kid on Youtube. Second, perfect imitating his voice. Third, use this voice when Leroy Ninker speaks and be prepared to feel like super-dad as your 9 year old rolls in his bed from laughter. We are still calling each other Leroy Ninker. Again, probably not what the author intended, but come on...Leroy is a grown man who lives in a tiny apartment, want's to be a cowboy, feeds his horse spagehtti, and has the most beautificus horsicus in all of the whole wide world...Maybelline. Oh Ma-be-weeenn I wuv you. One thing I didn't understand, and maybe there's a sequel out there, is Leroy Ninker's quote about once having been a thief and a bad man. What did he rob...candy stores? ;-) If a director out there was willing to eschew political correctness, and not worry about offending, this would be a hilarious kid's movie. ... show more

    • How to hold onto your dreams, if not the reins.
I chose this for the grandson of dear friend. He is about to turn 5, but his vocabulary and reading skills, and general conversation, level of concentration, etc. are beyond that age. He has lately been infatuated with cowboy gear and lore. His Grandmother told me this author is one of her favorites. So this has been a hit! p.s. from the passages i read (online samples for prospective buyers) the writing style is light and witty, but with insights to human nature, and the heart of a dreamer. ... show more

    • I thought it would be perfect. It is a really cute book
A couple of years ago, we bought a set of Mercy Watson books by this same author. We have a soon-to-be 7-year-old who is crazy for cowboys, so when I saw this short chapter book with some of the same characters, I thought it would be perfect. It is a really cute book, decently easy to read, but still a bit of a challenge to keep him interested. After he finished reading this one, I tried to find more about Leroy Ninker, but it looks like the next couple of books are about other characters. We'd love to see more about this little guy. In the meantime, we'll probably buy those next books, because the style of these books (like the Mercy Watson books) is just so fun. ... show more

    • 🎵 Back In The Saddle 🎵
Format: Kindle
Leroy Ninker worked at the Bijou Drive-In in the concession stand. This is the story about how he got a buddy and lost him. He had a dream about being a cowboy. He had a cowboy hat and boots. He had a lasso, but he needed a horse. All the cowboys on the picture screen had horses. Beatrice handed him a newspaper ad. What did it say? What was it about? You get to read/listen to find out. I highly recommend this book. Enjoy the journey Leroy had finding a new friend. I know I did. ... show more
