Thanks for all of the suggestions.

ICOT, the Reys were Jewish and were fleeing Paris ahead of the Nazis. I read a couple of years ago about a recently discovered manuscript of theirs with stories about a penguin, but since I’ve not heard anything about it since I suppose it wasn’t published. We did come up with some of the same suggestions.

Another classic children’s picture series my kids liked was the _Babar_ books by Bemmelmans.

xerox, my kids like the Junie B. Jones books by Barabara Park too.

My kids also enjoyed the Wayside School books by Louis Sachar. They are chapter books for younger kids, but my older kids liked them too. There are 3 storybooks in the series; a fourth book, _Sideways Math from Wayside School_ is actually a collection of challenging math problems.
