How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

I believe Kate DeCamillo is one of the finest authors (for children and adults) of our current era. I adore her work and find it helps me grow my own patience, kindness, and parenting abilities. In parenting my two young sons (ages 7 and 5), I regularly use her stories to teach them things like responsibility and spreading positivity.

For example, we just finished re-reading the story of Leroy Ninker that is included in this compilation. In the story, Leroy finds "pretty words" within him that he continually showers upon his horse Maybelline. For Father's Day, my sons wrote down some "pretty words" on post it notes that they shared with their dad. We got the idea from the story.

Then, this morning, I was asking one of my children to do four things to get ready for our day, and I found myself saying, "Just like Patty told Leroy three things to remember about the horse..." and I decided that I just must take a minute to immediately thank who I think of as a sage and angel in my home, glorious Kate DeCamillo by sending a few of my own pretty words to Amazon in praise of her stories.

The third story in this compilation also includes an interaction between Baby Lincoln and a little boy where she helps him feel better (it's sweet and humorous the way it comes about, and I don't want to give too many details in this review and diminish a reader's delight of reading the story for her/himself!), which I have also used with my children in discussing ways we can offer and share love and healing when needed.

The Deckawoo Drive books seem well-suited for the age of my kids (the kids definitely have questions and don't understand everything, but that's ok), and I look forward to reading more Kate DeCamillo books as they grow into the age range of some of her other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars We love Mercy Watson!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 8, 2021

We bought the younger children’s box set of Mercy Watson and the author’s delivery style is unique and appealing, her characters are endearing, and stories are engaging. We liked the small stories so well we bought this. I can say we thoroughly enjoyed them. All of her stories have thought provoking themes that are age appropriate. My next task for my evening is seeing if there are more of these books and also I may check out the author’s other titles. Since at least one is a Newberry medal winner I thought perhaps they would be far too serious (I have enjoyed many Newberry Medal winners, not saying they are bad). I may have very well been wrong and maybe some humor will be infused even if story lines are more of a serious nature.

My one and only criticism of these is Leroy Ninker’s fake cussing. I know he is supposed to be like a cowboy, but still. Anyway, I just skipped his near swear word exclamations.

I read these aloud. My daughter is only 7. She can read the original Mercy Watson’s but these are more advanced.

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s a fun, safe book - No Hidden Agenda

My daughter is 7 years old and she LOVES this book. She laughs throughout the book and thoroughly enjoys the stories. The pictures are wonderful as well.
No bad words, no hidden agenda, safe, fun and simple. We have read this before bed every night for the past month.
If you are a parent or grandparent and you are looking for a good book without any “surprises” in the storyline, this is a fantastic option.

My granddaughter LOVES these books! When we finished the Mercy Watson series, we were very excited to find out about the Tales from Deckawoo Drive books. Same characters, longer chapters, less pictures. The perfect next step for someone who starts 2nd grade this fall.

Stories are great and both my 4 and 7 year old daughters LOVE them. They were a little disappointed that all of the pics were black and white in the Tales from Deckawoo Drive books since all of the Mercy books have great colored pictures. They still really love the stories though.

My daughter loves this book. She is 8 and proficient at reading. She loved all the Mercy Watson books also. If you have not heard of them go check those out. This book is about all of Mercy's neighbors on Deckawoo Dr.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, strange, and yet oddly familiar
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 1, 2020

If you’re new to this series, and wondering what the big deal is, let me tell you: they are great, warmly and richly written, happy stories. There are no princesses. There is no action figure to purchase after reading. Just strange and yet oddly familiar stories, with language that introduces ways to discuss the world with kindness and nuance. I am grateful they exist and it’s a joy to read them with my daughter (6 years old).

We have a whole set of Mercy Watson for our 6-year-old. Having read them over and over, it was time to get her a new set based on characters with which she is familiar. DiCamillo did not disappoint. Still lovely characters and fun stories! Love her books. Highly recommended!
