A Fly Went By is in our list of books we liked when learning to read (and, actually, we still like to read them, although now we like to read them very fast and, sometimes, backwards):
- Green Eggs and Ham
- Angus and the Ducks
Doesn’t rhyme so harder to memorize; funny; cool pictures; not cutesy - Harold and the Purple Crayon
Doesn’t rhyme so harder to memorize; funny; cool pictures; not cutesy; some pretty hard words keep it interesting - A Fly Went By
- Cat in the Hat
- Ready, Set, Read
A wonderful anthology of easy-to-read but not flimsy stories. The story Boris Gets a Cold is a family favorite. - Goodnight, Moon
Cool pictures; not cutesy; some pretty hard words (\”night\”, \”air\”, \”house\”, \”everywhere\” for example) keep it interesting - Little Bear books
- Nutshell Library by Maurice Sendak
Very cool pictures; extremely non-cutesy. Tiny format is another draw. Can be taken anywhere. - The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown, Leonard Weisgard
Doesn’t rhyme so harder to memorize; not cutesy; some pretty hard words in surprising configurations.
