Here is another handy step-up readers series by Cynthia Rylant: short chapters, simple yet engaging plots, quality writing and vocabulary.
Focusing on relationships, The Lighthouse Family brings together a mild-mannered cat, a helpful dog, 3 mouse "children" and various ocean-faring animal friends for gentle adventures by the sea. Lovely illustrations by Preston McDaniels add to the attraction for young readers.
