Great for readers

Geronimo Stilton
Scholastic Paperbacks, 2008
Cute book - even good for non-readers
I got this book to read to to my four year old as an introduction to chapter books. Just as I hoped, he was wiggly with anticipation to read each night and would beg for "just one more" chapter. (They are very short chapters.)
The characters are funny, ...

Dem Bones
Bob Barner
Chronicle Books, 1996
Another great Bob Barner book
I picked up this book for almost three year old daughter because we loved Bob Barner's Fish Wish. My daughter learned so much about the ocean from that book and I thought Dem Bones would give her an introduction to the body. The book follows an old African folk song ...
