Why we like it…
First of all, we are Duck Dynasty fans. The Robertson family has entertained and encouraged us for years with their shenanigans and faith. We first picked up a title from this series for the kids to try out on their Fire tablets
Our (at the time) reluctant reader enjoyed the story so much, we ended up purchasing the entire box set. Thanks to the “choose your own story” format, the kids can read them over and over and have a different adventure each time.
