+2 on Little Critter. Very much the same vibes. It’s also reminiscent of Maurice Sendak without the overarching sense of dread. |

| The Froggy series (Jack London I think) |

| Sweet Pickles by Richard Hefter, if you can get your hands on them (out of print). An animal for every letter of the alphabet who gets into a pickle each book. |

These were my favorite when I was five. I was obsessed with the maps on the endpapers. |

Series are one of the best ways to teach children, because they remember details about the characters while being able to take in a new plot and message. |
