Charlie & Mouse

By Laurel Snyder

Four small everyday adventures that add up to your child's first real book.

Two brothers turn ordinary days — a neighborhood 'party,' a rock-selling scheme — into small adventures.

The chapters are linked, so it reads like a real book, but each one is also its own little scene they can finish on their own. It's a very easy, very low-pressure step up from Frog and Toad.
