The King, the Mice and the Cheese
| Author | Nancy Gurney |
| ISBN | 0001713353 |
A friend recommended this as one of his favorite books as a kid, and I can definitely see why kids would have a lot of fun with it. The story is repetitive and funny, and kids can anticipate which animal will drive out the current unwanted guest. The drawings are very cartoony (almost Disney-looking to me),...

| Author | Meomi |
| ISBN | 1597020052 |
Giant Squids seem to be making a comeback in literature. Maybe it's the recent news of squids, like the one that sank a fishing vessel off the coast of Japan. Maybe it's just a weird literary coincidence. One of those at the forefront of this trend is another delightful picture book from Meomi called The...

| ISBN | 0689825250 |
The more Henry and Mudge books we read, the more my 5 yr old son loves them. There are good solid reading level 2 books, so he can read them to me out loud or to himself and discuss later. Today I really enjoyed watching him read to himself and smiling and laughing at certain parts when I'm pretty sure he didn't...
