Disappointed in value and nine grammatical errors in the set!
I too, found this a skimpy set of books for the money, and as an English teacher and Reading Specialist, am not impressed. The worst disappointment is that there are grammatical errors within the text of the books. It is the same type of error each time: subject-verb agreement, but the inconsistency of the errors show correct usage in some cases and incorrect usage in other cases. Example: "(book 2) "The Paw Patrol help friends." also, "The Paw Patrol do their best." Because Paw Patrol is one group, it should be treated as singular…"helps" and "does" in the above cases. This continues with two mistakes in book 4, one in book 8, one in book 9, and three in book 12. There are several instances where "The Paw Patrol" has the correct verb…."(book 7) "The Paw Patrol is on the way." and "The Paw Patrol saves the day!" This just proves to me that they REALLY don't know what they are doing. And, it is published by Random House, a very good company in most cases. I am VERY disappointed and considering sending it back. If the grandchild had not already seen them, the package would already be in the mail. UPDATE: I emailed Random House and informed them of their mistakes. Also, I mailed the books back and my grandson did not miss them.
