Below is a list of great books that are fun to read. I don't worry about the level with these books they are for you and your child to read together. Great if your child can read them independently, if not you can make them bed time stories.
Hurry! Hurry! By Eve Bunting
The illustrations along with the two words on each page are perfect for young readers. The two words (Hurry! Hurry!) let the readers know to look for an exciting ending to this barnyard story.
Ella Sarah Gets Dressed by Margaret Chodos-Irvine
This is a repetitive story about a little girl who doesn't like others choosing her clothes!
Charlie Chick by Nick Denchfield and Ant Parker
This is a pop-up book that I love. There are only a few words on a page and lots of surprises.
Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney
This is one of those rhyming books that begs to be read again and again.
The Cow Who Clucked by Denise Fleming
Cow goes looking for his lost "moo". Each animal on the farm uses his own animal sound to let Cow know that they did not take his moo. The text is repetitive to support young readers.
Where Is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox
This is a favorite book with repetitive text. As with all of Mem Fox's books, the rhythm, simplicity and fun make this text perfect for new readers.
Butterfly Butterfly: A Book of Colors by Petr Horacek
This story about a girl and a butterfly has a few words on a page, large print, colorful illustrations, a predictable pattern with matching pictures and a surprise ending.
Why Do I Have to Eat Off the Floor? by Chris Hornsey
A dog asks his child owner why he can't do all of the things that she is allowed to do. Simple sentences and great humor make this one a perfect match for young children.
Love You When You Whine by Emily Jenkins
This book reassures children that we love them when they whine, when they won't eat dinner, and at other vexing moments. Each page has one line of text that matches the picture.
Not a Box by Antoinette Portis
A small bunny is using a box for lots of fun play. Each page is repetitive and simple. The delightful pictures provide great support for the reader.
Emily's Balloon by Komako Sakai
A story that all children can relate to -- losing a helium-filled balloon. A wonderful story with simple sentences and matching illustrations.
Elephant and Piggie Books by Mo Willems
Mo Willems, author of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Knuffle Bunnyhas created a new series for young readers. My Friend is Sad and Today I Will Fly! are books in this series. They are the size of Dr. Seuss books -- small with lots of pages. Simple text and great illustrations make them both ideal choices for young readers. Willems also uses talking bubbles.
Sleepyhead by Karma Wilson
This is abook about bedtime with rhyming text. The varied fonts make it fun to read.
The Deep Blue Sea: A Book of Colors by Audrey Wood
