Second Grade Pokémon books

Pokémon books are boy-friendly quick reads. Published by  Scholastic, they are at the 2nd Grade level and are the easiest books that we could locate.

*A plus is that currently most are available for amazon's buy 3-get 1 free program.  I also noticed some 'sets' available on ebay.
