Petite Rouge - A Cajun Red Riding Hood - By Mike Artell

Definitely get ready to laugh as you read this funny version of the famous "Red Riding Hood" story! Because it is written in Cajun "lingo", reading the narrative aloud in a Southern accent is an absolute must! This book is not only humorous, but also exposes children to the fact that people in various parts of the country often have a different way of saying things. The fun illustrations make the storyline even more charming. 

Clifford The Big Red Dog - By Norman Bridwell

This book is good for teaching young children how to take care of a dog.  The only problem I found with the story is that at one point, the character Emily says, "I don't care", which isn't the type of phrase you generally want children picking up on.  The illustrations are cute and colorful and add to the humor of the story.  Because Clifford is such a very big dog, the doghouse is larger than his owner's home!
