Enjoyable story for my son. The character lessons were an added bonus!

My son loves the outdoors and hunting, but we have always had a difficult time getting him to read. He has dyslexia so reading practice is important, but it’s usually a chore. Since receiving Birthday Buck, my son has read almost everyday. I was so surprised when he said he was going to his room to read and was even more surprised when I saw he was on chapter 10. It was so nice to not have to beg him. However, I was curious and one afternoon read the book myself and was pleased to discover so many valuable lessons hidden among the hunting tales. Although Birthday Buck is a hunting story for those who love the outdoors it is also so much more!!

5-Stars!!

Loved the story! I love hunting with my family, and I wish I would have had “Birthday Buck” to read to my sons when they were younger. It reminded me of the expectant heart of young hunters and the true reason why we hunt.

My son loves the books and he doesn’t like to read!

Our son is not really a sensitive, sweet, touchy feely kid. He loves to hunt and play video games. Reading has never been something enjoyable for him but important for development and they make them read at school. We got the first book “Birthday Buck” and he couldn’t put it down. He asked everyday when the next book was coming out. Jimmy has been great with corresponding about new books and encouraging my son to read. We even got a few signed copies. My son is 13 and I asked if he wanted to sell the books when finished reading them. He said no he wants to keep them for his kids. He’s 13! Great wholesome and engaging books. Would love a boys devotional from Mr. Tidmore!

Wholesome books

Intriguing, fun and wholesome books for kids who love the outdoors! We look forward to each new release by Jimmy Tidmore! I especially appreciate the touch of Christian values/character this author brings in to each book! Our entire family enjoys this series! Highly recommend!!!

Great books!

My 9 year old grandson loves The Hunt Club Kids Series! He is a reluctant reader and was struggling in school. He loves hunting with his dad, and I was so happy to find well-written, wholesome books about hunting for him. Imagine my delight when my son sent me a picture of my grandson reading Birthday Buck unsolicited. This series is exactly what my grandson needed to encourage him to read and find the love of reading. I can’t thank you enough.

Just the books my kids needed…

As a mother, I am very selective about the quality of books my children read. As a parent of two boys, I want my kids to read about what they love: hunting! That is how we grow readers! As a Dyslexia Coach, I look for interesting books with great storylines that motivate my students to read. As a Christian parent, I try to fill my children’s library with realistic books that include respect and love for God.

Lastly, as a parent to a child recently diagnosed with Alpha Gal Syndrome, there was one particular book that really made a difference to my son: Talking Turkey. With AG, there is a severe allergy to mammal meat. He is now unable to safely touch mammals while hunting or eat their meat. This is a dramatic change for our family. Finally, we found a book about hunting turkeys. (We can hunt and eat birds and fish.) I cannot explain how much it meant to my child to finally read a book about what he can hunt. I pray that God leads other families with AG who enjoy hunting to these books and hope that Jimmy will publish more fishing and bird hunting books soon as well.)

The Hunt Club Series books truly meets my children’s needs and I feel confident as a parent about what my children are reading.
I have e-mailed the author before and was so touched by his response and care. He is a blessing in our life. I highly recommend his books and we are eager for the next one.

Actually made my son WANT to read!!!

We have a 9-year-old now who was introduced to The Hunt Club Kids Books at 8. Our son is a typical country kid that would rather be hunting, fishing, or riding his four-wheeler than learn to read. That was until he was introduced to Birthday Buck. I thought we bought the book for him, but our whole family of 5 couldn’t wait to read the next chapter every evening!! It not only got our son excited to learn to read, but it also brought our family together by doing something together every evening. We shared a lot of laughs, and it was a critical tool we used to teach our son to read! Now we have all the books!!! If you’re on the fence, do yourself a favor and buy these books!!!!

Birthday Buck is a must read for all kiddos who love the outdoors!

What began as just another chapter book for our 8 year old son, with us reading together, culminated in him sneaking to read by flashlight after bedtime and staying up late on a Saturday to finish the book (and even waking me that night to try to tell me about the ending). He loved the humor in the book, even giggling out loud as he imagined the main character brought to life. As a parent, I appreciated the wholesome nature of the book, which touched on peer relationships and learning how to be truly happy for a friend’s success.

It’s difficult to find many chapter books that will hold the interest of our very active son, but Birthday Buck definitely fit the bill! I’ve recommended it to all of our friends. Now we can’t wait for the next release!

Should Not Go Unnoticed!

Two books by Jimmy Tidmore should not go unnoticed: Birthday Buck and Hide and Seek.

A Story Well Told!

Just this past week I had the pleasure to read an advance copy of the excellent book BIRTHDAY BUCK. This book sheds light on hunting in today’s world and all the positive things that come from the experience. While it is written from a youngster prospective, I know a lot of adults who need to read it. It is a story well told, about kids hunting today.

I recommend BIRTHDAY BUCK to anyone looking for a Christmas or birthday present for any youngster interested in the outdoors. Perhaps adults on your gift list should get a copy also.
