There are now 8 books in this wonderful series by Asia Citro, with a 9th set to release later this year. They are early chapter books, great for a 2nd or 3rd grader to read independently and great as a read aloud for ages 5 to 10 I would imagine - Amazon agrees.
We first listed to the first, Dragons and Marshallows when it was on sale through Audible and recommended by Everyday Reading. My girls really enjoyed this captivating story about a little girl and her mom who can see and assist ailing magical creatures who come to their barn. Can Zoey figure out how to help the little Dragon who is sick by using scientific principles - you heard me right, these books use basic scientific principles in the stories, which this mommy really loved.
We have since also read Merhorses and Bubbles, Catterflies and Ice and Unicorns and Germs. Each of the books has a different magical creature which Zoey and her mom have to help, using a different scientific method or principle. I feel like the stories are engaging and educational, without the kids feeling like I'm reading them a non-fictional book. I can highly recommend these, and you know I'll be making a plan to read some more from the series soon.
