He has actually read a little of a Ricky Ricotta book at swimming. I wonder what happened to the book, hmm...

We have found a winner though. While in Idaho this last week we bought the first Franny K Stein book - Lunch Walks Among Us. In less than an hour he had it all read!! We had to buy the next two while there as well, and he's in bed reading the 2nd one now.
Not only did he read the first book but he had to show Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Grammy, Grampy, and his Aunt and Uncle his new book that he loved.

He is in a mad science class at school and Franny is a mad scientist so it just caught his attention I think. Lots of pictures throughout the book helped too.
