Narwhal I'm Around
A perfect bridge for kids who are ready to read more than board books but still need the visual support of a picture book; the friendship lessons land without feeling preachy.

Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity
by Mo Willems
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 480L
Willems nails the toddler logic of ownership and friendship; the mistaken-bunny premise is genuinely funny for kids and parents, and Trixie's bilingual speech patterns feel authentically lived-in.
Mice Twice
by Joseph Low
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 520L · 1980
A clever wordplay romp with strong cause-and-effect architecture, but dated illustration style and pacing that may feel slow to modern kids raised on snappier picture books.
Narwhal's School of Awesomeness
by Ben Clanton
Picture book · ages 6–9 · 450L · 2021
A solid entry in the series that keeps the charm of the early books while introducing slightly more complex social dynamics without losing the silly tone.
