My second grader just started enjoying to read. She's read all Bernstain Bears and Curious George books we have and wants more to read.
Any recommendations? Which Jewish books in the market are age appropriate?

I'm not familiar with these, but I'll look into them. Thanks!
I was looking for Mimmy and Simm books that I remember from my times but they're out of print. Anyone knows of similar type of books available?

In Jewish books my early reader is reading the Rikki Benenfeld picture books, and maybe look for shimi shambone.

My daughter is in second grade and adores the owl diaries series and dory fantasmagory series. She also like trouble at table five and here’s hank. Both series.

Just beware- there is one Frog and Toad that has “shut up” in it. I forgot which book it is.
While it wouldn’t bother me for an older child, I wouldn’t want my 6yo reading it.
