I haven't been too impressed by his newest stuff but his older books are absolutely wonderful for kids and YA and I still occasionally pull them out to read. I remember reading the Twinkey Squad and laughing so hard that I had tears running down my face. And a great series of picture books for young children that I love to recommend are the books about Carl the dog by Alexandra Day. They don't have too many words but the pictures are wonderful and funny.

In fact, I've recently completed a feature magazine article on this subject that came out in October, "Help for Struggling, Reluctant Readers." I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.

I saw a boxed set of the Emily Windsnap series in the bookstore and wondered about it, so I think I'll try that one out. Thanks for the suggestions, Ann.
