This month’s list of 25 Kindle Kids’ Books For $1 Each includes some fun, whimsical picture books, some early reader chapter books, and even some books for tweens. Here are just a few:
John Willy & Freddy Mcgee (4.5/5 stars, grade level 1-3)
A life of nibbling grains and burrowing in straw is perfect for ordinary guinea pigs. Then again, it’s perfectly boring for guinea pigs as extraordinary as John Willy and Freddy McGee!
So, of course, when their cage door is left open, these two daring friends take the chance to escape. Out into the world they go, afraid of nothing.
That is, until they suddenly hear—while inside the tunnels of a pool table: TAP! wumba BONK! tap-tap wumba BONK! Off they go again—this time back to their cage, but not for long!
The wonderful cut paper pictures of Caldecott Honor artist Holly Meade take young children on an adventure they will thoroughly enjoy.
Sleepover Larry (4/5 stars, grade level 1-3)
Larry is a polar bear with style.
He likes blueberry muffins, enjoys dancing ballet, and takes pride in his job as a lifeguard.
He lives with the Frobisher family in the hotel that they named after him. One day, Larry invites his bear friends from the zoo for a sleepover.
That’s when all the fun begins!
Jill Pinkwater’s pen-and-ink and colored-marker illustrations capture Larry’s appealing character as he and his friends have the best sleepover ever.
