Although my husband is not a big fan, the boys love these Froggy books by Jonathan London. When I was a teacher my students loved them as well. They are great because they are a series but it’s not necessary to read them in order so you can choose whichever ones catch your eye.
Here are a few of the ones that my big boys ask me to read again and again:
Froggy Learns to Swim
Froggy Builds a Tree House
Froggy Goes to Camp
Froggy’s Best Babysitter
Froggy’s First Kiss
