I too have a young reader who is developing at his own pace, so I decided to start my own website specifically for emergent and very early beginning readers. I have been searching extensively for quality beginning readers with decent plots and/ or a good use of humor. Thanks you for your post. There are a couple on your list I haven't seen yet! If you'd like to check out my website, I'll include it below! Chris

Thank you for these wonderful lists! My daughter is 4, and she has always loved our reading time together. She's started "reading" to us (or her stuffed animals) by opening pages and either making up stories or reciting what she remembers. She surprised me last month by patiently listening to a long section of what I was reading (Anne of Green Gables - with long, beautiful descriptions that don't have any action). I want to get some early readers into rotation to encourage her further exploration into reading. It's all so exciting! :)

Thank you for all of your great lists but these early reader lists are giving my son the motivation be needs to take the leap. He uses Bob books at school but has been reluctant to read them with me. I picked up You are (Not) Small and just gave it to him to LOOK at on the way to the zoo. Guess what? He read it out loud from his car seat - first book ever! I really appreciate the time you take to share your successes!

I haven't read any of these but I will definitely check them out. The books I've found at the library as recommended for beginning readers are so boring that my daughter isn't interested at all - NOT the way to get kids turned on to reading!

I love all your resommendations! My 5 year old daughter loves the newer Amelia Bedelia I can Read series as well as Pete The Cat. And everything by Mo Willems is a must in our house, too.
