(3) K-3 My First I Can Read Book series. When the wind brings an enormous pink hat to rest in Turtle's yard, a sweetly earnest Turtle patiently hauls it around from Mouse to Rabbit to Beaver to Crocodile, until it's finally returned to Elephant, its grateful owner. Entertaining illustrations couple with the simple, repetitive text to make this an effective first read.
