After spending a good part of last year on early reading books, it is gratifying to see him looking for captivating stories.
Without divulging the story, I have given a comment.
1. Anook: the snow princess by Hans Wilhelm
- V overcame the fact that it was about a "princess to re-read it a few times
2. Scaredy Squirrel series by Melanie Watt
- Our first book in the series was signed by the author herself and has become a perennial favorite.
3. Ruby paints a picture by Susan Hill
- Good book to self-read with lot of repetitive words; but still humorous in finding what body part Ruby leaves while painting
4. If you give a pig a pancake and similar stories
- This series feature ridiculous stories with lots of repetitive words.
5. All Jan Brett's books (The Hat, The Umbrella, Daisy Comes Home, Honey.. Honey.. Lion, etc)
- I love Jan myself.. great settings and stories, awesome pictures, good moral as well.
6. Rosemary Wells books - all set in a pre-school/KG class of a school
- Adorable characters that kids relate to, real life situations to teach them a thing or two about life in school (i.e., clothes, teachers, separation, respect, helping/caring)
7. Rainbow Fish - Marcus Pfister
- Beautiful illustration, hopefully teaches about vanity and sharing
Will try to keep adding great favorites
