Nathaniel Benchley ~ Arnold Lobel ~ Harper & Row, 1967
Perhaps even more amazing than the I Can Read and I Can Read Science sets is the I Can Read Mystery series. Lots of these were written by the awesome Nathaniel (son of Robert, the Algonquin Round Table humorist and father of Peter, the creator of JAWS), and still hold up rather well. However, most famous in the series are the beloved Big Max books penned by Kin Platt and illustrated by Robert Lopshire. But back to Cluck...

CUTENESS! Love anything Lobel. I think Julia would love this one! The other day I found a Mother Goose compilation that was completely illustrated by him, I had never seen it before! One day I had a Lobel frenzy and checked out the entire Lobel shelf. It was awesome wading through so much Lobel.
I just want to say thanks. Great book suggestions. My son loves Lobel and I'm always looking for good I can Read Books. We love Frog and Toad, but alas, there are too few of them!
