Backpack: C
The colors weren't horrible, but the quality was rough.

Notebook: A
Very cute little notebook! I love the colors & that the paper inside is really lined!

Mini Math Textbook: A
This little textbook caused quite an uproar from anti-common core crowds and ultimately caused the early retirement of the set. I personally think the cover is cute and I love that there are actual textbook pages inside!

Mechanical Pencils: A
So cute! Love the bright, happy colors!

Water Bottle: A
Again, very cute and I love the bright colors!


Overall: B+
The set has some adorable pieces but just missed the mark. The backpack was sub-par quality, and the controversy over the textbook sunk it.
