Step into Reading series.
Aaron the alligator and assorted companions play with footballs, pumpkins, and apples. This is a reworking of material from Everything Happens to Aaron in Autumn, originally published in 1967. Short sentences, silly content, and controlled vocabulary make this a suitable if uninspired book for the very earliest readers.

Bright and Early Book series.
This book (reissued in paperback in 2000) is back as an easy reader in paper-over-board and library editions. Eastman's simple, humorous cartoons illustrate exactly what the words describe. This is a useful book for beginning readers (and nostalgic adults).

Beginner Books series.
In this silly story, a boy finds an egg and puts it in an empty bird's nest. When Mr. and Mrs. Bird return, they find the egg, which they keep warm until it hatches. They care for their baby but are amazed by Junior's strange reptilian habits. Libraries with battered copies of the original edition will welcome this new one. The familiar style of Eastman's illustrations recall those in Are You My Mother?
