The mid-level series, Bites, described as “satisfying stories for eager readers,” averages about 65 pages and includes illustrations on about a third of the pages as well as smaller font targeting readers in grades 2-4 with titles such as Crazy for Cake. The highest level of the series, Chomps, contains “appetizing adventures for independent readers” in titles such as Catland. Titles at this level contain about 80 pages and should satisfy readers in grades 3-5.
