Today's read comes from a cartoon series, I enjoyed watching over my siblings' shoulders. The Powerpuff Girls were always a little silly, and their adventures added superhero goodness but with an odd twist on cute. Seeing them again made me smile, and I'm curious to see how these new adventures flow. Well, I assume they are new, but maybe not? Anyway, this book is for beginning readers and should help them work those word skills.
Let's open it up and see what this trio is up to this time!

MY TIDBITS
The beloved Powerpuff Girls are back and ready to take on any villain or save the world...as long as they're done before bedtime.
For anyone who enjoyed the Powerpuff Girls as a kid, this is a nostalgic blast to the past. The girls are introduced quickly in the beginning and head into a short adventure as they put on a sleepover for the girls in their class. Of course, the ever-troublesome Princess is invited, which guarantees things will get out of control.
This is a short tale for those readers out there, who know their words but are in need of some practice. The font is large as is the spacing and the word amount on each page isn't overwhelming. There are illustrations throughout, which break things up and help readers along with the tale. There's also a glossary at the end to showcase the more difficult words, and there are a few questions for reading comprehension. So, this can be used with the purpose of working on reading abilities.
The tale itself holds all of the wonderful things which make the Powerpuff Girls as spunky, adorable, and heroic as ever. The sleepover setting offers a familiar setting, which is easy to sink into. The entire thing is very age appropriate and offers the fun of a superhero adventure...Powerpuff Girl style. My only hesitation lies in the plot as it makes much more sense for someone who already knows the Powerpuff Girls. Anyone who is diving into this world for the first time might find a couple moments confusing. Otherwise, it's a fun read with tons of power, and I'll be keeping an eye on this series since there are so many possibilities for adventures to come.
