Binky Adventure series by Ashley Spires

If you've ever lived with and loved a feline, you'll appreciate Binky's cat-ness. Binky thinks he's a brave, adventurous, hero cat - which means in reality, he's a sleepy, crazy, and utterly normal kitty with a rich fantasy life. Much of his time is consumed by napping, eating, stretching, and chasing bugs - when he's not building rocketships, digging secret tunnels, and generally saving mankind. Holy fuzzybutt!

Each of these graphic-novel style books are only 64 pages long- but each page packs a wallop with anywhere from 3-10 panels in evolving and continually shifting configurations.

While they books are generally marketed to children, there's no way you adults won't find a few grins at Binky's expense. Great for reluctant readers of all ages!

Tales for very picky eaters

by Josh Schneider

This book is technically an early reader.  However, I don't know if kids should be allowed to know the secrets held within its pages.  It might be better as a true guidebook for parents.  OK, not really.  This is a funny account of a father trying to get his boy to eat.  The dad concocts wild stories about the food that is being snubbed until the boy decides the only choice is to at least give it a try.
