Mike Thaler is the author of the hilariously funny Black Lagoon Series. These books which are geared towards second grade readers are full of riddles and quirky word plays. The series includes books such as "The Teacher from the Black Lagoon," "The Librarian from the Black Lagoon," "The Dentist from the Black Lagoon" (my favorite since my husband is a dental student) and many more. There is also a new series out which is for emerging chapter readers called the black lagoon adventures. This series includes titles such as "The Field Day from the Black Lagoon" and "The Talent Show from the Black Lagoon." These books will have your child laughing and more importantly keep him/her reading!!I love these books since they are a good way of introducing idioms. Other books I would recommend using in tandem with these books include:
Parts, More Parts and Even More Parts by Tedd Arnold
Amelia Bedelia series by Peggy Parish
