They often encourage and excite my son about reading more.

I already chastise myself for allowing her to watch as much TV as she does, but I can see the benefit of having books that tie into her favorite TV shows.

Books that are about a tv show might just get the kids from the first.

I don’t mind books being tied into a tv show. Anything that gets them interested in reading is great! Toys or junk food are a little different. Sometimes they carry it too far, just to sell toys and such. But books are good!

Hope I’m not too late! My 2 1/2 year old twins are big into reading, or rather, me reading to them. ) Their favorite show surprisingly is Wow Wow Wubbzy so this would be perfect for us! I agree that book/movie/tv show tie-ins helps reading. My son who’s 7 is a terrific reader partly because of that. He wasn’t at all interested in reading until we got books that had characters etc from his fave movies & YV shows. It helped us alot!

We love books based on movies and tv shows. It isn’t all we read but following favorite characters in new adventures is fun for kids.

I think they are fine as long as the subject is wholesome.

anything that gets kids to read is a great idea..A lot of kids now watch so much tv and video games they hardly know what a good book is..these are great!!!
