I absolutely love this series, I think it is so clever and nicely crafted to appeal to small kids but also to be enjoyable for older people. I've been waiting since last summer for the fourth installment to come out, so I am super excited because it is so soon! If you haven't read this series I would highly recommend that you give it a try! 

What are your picks this week?
