Maybe like all the Care Bears books? I think they werent so much to teach kids how to read, as they were for how to ACT in different situations. They were more than "see Spot run." You could sit in the library for an afternoon and prolly read a stack of them. I didnt realize how deficient i was in this area til i was babysitting and i let the kid have a lollipop before school. The mother let me know what an idiot i was. I was in my fifties at the time.
