There’s something very comforting about jumping into a new adventure with a character you already know.  Character familiarity makes a new book less intimidating and the act of reading itself more inviting.  It’s one of the things that’s kept the Cat in the Hat and Curious George getting into trouble for as long as they have.

For younger readers, some books you may not have heard of with recurring characters in them are the Elephant & Piggie books by Mo Willems (of Knuffle Bunny fame), the Teeny Tiny Ghost books by Kay Winters and Pigsty, One Halloween Night and Lost and Found by Mark Teague.

We have copies of all of these on the library shelves, but they get snatched up pretty fast.  Come have a look.
