The Marvelous Misadventures of Fun-Boy by Ralph Cosentino is a book perfect for boys who are emergent readers.  It is a nearly wordless book where the pictures tell the story in comic-book style.  The modern feeling art is a perfect match to the series of silly episodes that any little boy can relate to.  This one will have your new reader giggling along to jokes at exactly their level.  He will be able to “read” the book to himself in the very next sitting, and will want to because he will want to laugh at the jokes all over again.
