My son loved the Treasury of Thomas the Tank Engine books, the ones written by Reverend Awdry with the old fashioned drawings.
He also loved all the stories about truck drivers, mail carriers, and anything of that sort.
He loved "The Gas We Pass", "Everyone Poops", and especially "All About Scabs".
We memorized most of Dr. Seuss, especially "I had trouble in getting to Solla Sollew".
And I followed someone here's recommendation about "Roly Poly Pudding" I think it was, complete with rolling him up in the pie.
And he loved stories about Presidents. That might have just been him. Nothing special. Just the little beginning readers.
Ooooh. He might not be QUITE ready for it yet, but my son loved/loves Dav Pilkey's books. Captain Underpants might be a year or two too old for him (or maybe not) but I think Pilkey has some younger books as well. You might want to bring him to Barnes and Noble to take a look. I have to admit to loving Dav Pilkey myself. :)
