First you learn how to read and then you need to find something you want to read. If you're one of those young readers who has gotten the hang of a lot of this thing called reading and you're ready for a bonafide story, here comes a barrel of fun.
Forget Dick and Jane and that Cat with the Hat for a minute and allow us to introduce you to crocodile. Crocodile Loves watermelon. Yes that is Loves with a capital L. He loves watermelon for breakfast, for lunch and again for dinner. Bring on the watermelon. Until... the moment when he swallows a watermelon seed. Gulp!!!!
Oh no... woe unto this croc... he fears a future in the fruit salad. What will save him?
Does an emergent/early reader get any better than this? Nope.
