Really Popular Beginning Reading Series

In addition to Dr. Seuss' books, Arnold Lobel's "Frog and Toad" stories are funny, delightful, and always contain a wonderful example of true friendship and loyalty. Another charming series in "Henry and Mudge" by Cynthia Rylant, especially for children who love dogs, or wish they had one of their own. All of these are available in paperback, making them very affordable. They are also popular enough that most public libraries have a great supply on hand.
