I highly recommend the Skippyjon Jones book series by Judith Byron Schachner for young children.  These book series target children from kindergarten to third grade (in an English speaking environment).  I like to read them to my kids, one in preschool (roughly over 3 years old) and one in first grade (close to seven years old).  It is about a hyperactive Hispanic siamese cat, Skippyjon Jone, which has ears too big for his head and a head too big for his body.  He has a fantastic imagination, too wild for his mummy to handle.  The stories are hilarious.  They often made our kids laugh.  Apart from being hilarious, the books are also a good practice material for my son to brush up his Spanish vocabulary.

These are the books I have read to my kids.

1.  Skippyjon Jones 

2.  Skippyjon Jones in the Dog House

3.  Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones

4.  Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble

I like "Skippyjon Jones" in Mummy Trouble.  Mummy can mean "木乃伊" or "媽咪" (Mummy is British English)
