I've also been beefing up my collection of early readers. Many years ago I got Jason and the Bees by Brom Hoban. This is a Nature I CAN READ book. Recently I became curious about other similar vintage titles and discovered more Nature I CAN READ as well as a whole series of Science I CAN READ books, all of which I've been purchasing. I have also found a bit of historical fiction for this age group. And I found Prove It!, a wonderful early reader book of Science Experiments, which we've been working our way through in Science Club. After we finish it, I can put it on the shelf and the children who are a part of our club will have fun reading it and revisiting the experiments.
So, here are some early reader titles I recommend. As you can tell, I do like the vintage ones! I think they are much better than many modern titles!
