My then 6-yr boy was attracted to this book at a national park visitor center. It's just any book to me but to get him going I promised to buy it from Amazon later for a better price. So I did. Then he was reading it again and again for months. He likes the light humor there, and learned so many big words, I mean bigger than my GRE vocabulary.
