- Captain Pugwash (John Ryan)
Captain Pugwash is a pirate and captain of the ship the Black Pig who goes through many adventures on the high seas. Perfect for pirate-loving boys! - The Princess and the Pea (Lauren Child)
All the books by Lauren Child are especially wonderful as the main character is a delightful and precocious little girl. Other good titles: I Am Too Absolutely Small for School and I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato. - Where the Wild Things Are (Maurice Sendak)
When Max is especially naughty, he is sent to bed without his supper. From his room the adventures begin for the mischievous boy who can command monsters. Sendak’s paintings are marvelous. - Yertle the Turtle (Dr. Seuss)
Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. This story is ripe for conversations with children about bullies and basics of human kindness.
