Too many of these books are BORING. The <em>Bob Books<\/em> were assigned reading in kindergarten. They are set up neatly with easy to sound out three-letter-words, but in our house we found they were not interesting enough to motivate a new reader. Once we were into Level 1 and 2 early readers, we would go to the library and look through the stacks, but many of these books were not much better. You would think after Dr. Seuss showed the way, that everyone would write better early readers, but alas, that is not the case. However, in the land of early readers dull as dry toast, we found some raspberry jam. Here are our favorites, listed in order of difficulty.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Elephant-and-Piggie-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Elephant-and-Piggie-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Elephant-and-Piggie.jpg 366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>E<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=elephant+and+piggie&amp;i=stripbooks&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"lephant &amp; Piggie Books (opens in a new tab)\">lephant &amp; Piggie Books<\/a><\/em> by Mo Williams are marvelous early, early readers! There are only a few easy words on each page, but the stories are adorable, as are the characters. Gerald, the elephant who wears glasses, is careful. His best friend, Piggie, is not. These simple cartoon characters are drawn with wonderful facial expressions and many of the stories have giggle-worthy surprise endings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Sheep-300x271.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Sheep-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Sheep.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SHEEP-JEEP-Nancy-Shaw\/dp\/0395470307\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1561748086&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sheep in a Jeep (opens in a new tab)\">Sheep in a Jeep<\/a><\/em> and other <em>Sheep<\/em> books by Nancy Shaw are also wonderful very beginning readers. Most of the words rhyme with \u201csheep.\u201d There are very few words on each page, and the stories are ridiculous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No list of early readers is complete without mentioning Dr. Seuss. Some of his books are more difficult than others. A really good place to start is <em><a aria-label=\"Green Eggs and Ham (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Green-Eggs-Ham-Dr-Seuss\/dp\/0394800168\/ref=sr_1_2?crid=HGPITDJYHHMM&amp;keywords=green+eggs+and+ham&amp;qid=1561748124&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=green+eggs%2Cstripbooks%2C211&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\">Green Eggs and Ham<\/a> <\/em>(Level 1), and later, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cat-Hat-Dr-Seuss\/dp\/039480001X\/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+cat+in+the+hat&amp;qid=1561748156&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Cat in the Hat ( (opens in a new tab)\">The Cat in the Hat <\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cat-Hat-Dr-Seuss\/dp\/039480001X\/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+cat+in+the+hat&amp;qid=1561748156&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Cat in the Hat ( (opens in a new tab)\">(<\/a>Level 2). For some reason,<em> Hop on Pop<\/em> is a little more challenging. After writing some early readers myself, I gained a new appreciation for what Dr. Seuss was able to do with a small set of easy-to-read one-syllable words. Wow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember those old board books you used to read to your\ntoddler? A lot of them work great as Level 1 early readers. Look for books with\nsimple words and lots of repetition. Your early reading child will still\nremember some of the books you read over and over and over and over, so the\nwords flow more easily than if they were reading a brand-new story. We used <em>What\nShall We Do With the Boo-Hoo Baby?, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?,\nThe Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Little Fur Family<\/em>, and lots more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"192\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Little-Bear-192x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Little-Bear-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Little-Bear.jpg 419w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A slightly more difficult early reader is <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Little-Bear-Can-Read-Book\/dp\/0064440044\/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=little+bear&amp;qid=1561748218&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Little Bear  (opens in a new tab)\">Little Bear<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Little-Bear-Can-Read-Book\/dp\/0064440044\/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=little+bear&amp;qid=1561748218&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Little Bear  (opens in a new tab)\"> <\/a>by Elsa Holmelund Minarik. This book was written in 1957 but it is still charming today. The words are simple, and the book tells stories about Little Bear and his friends, Duck, Hen and Cat. These books are a little long for today\u2019s levels, but they are broken up into stand-alone chapters. The stories are sweet, and the reading level is easy enough for children ready for Level 1 or 2 early readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Mr.-Putter-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Mr.-Putter-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/spencermeadowpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BB-Mr.-Putter.jpg 356w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=mr.+putter+and+tabby+books&amp;i=stripbooks&amp;crid=1HZFV107PKSMK&amp;sprefix=mr.+putter+and+%2Cstripbooks%2C228&amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Mr. Putter &amp; Tabby (opens in a new tab)\">Mr. Putter &amp; Tabby<\/a><\/em> books by Cynthia Rylant were a surprise hit.

Cynthia Rylant has written multiple series\u2019 of early readers including <em>Henry and Mudge<\/em> and <em>Annie and Snowball<\/em>, and they\u2019re all good, but the <em>Mr. Putter<\/em> books were our favorites.
