in my top five children's books

This is a classic! I don't think I fully appreciated Kafka until I read this book.

Beetle Boy

Gegory turns into a bug and only his best friend notices. The humor will be appreciated by any adult who has either raised or taught a 2nd grader like Gregory, who experiences a transformation. This book has excellent color illustrations and will be of interest to students from the 1st grade through the 3rd grade levels.

Better than Pokémon

I sent this to my eight year old nephew and I hear he's very upset that he's not Beetle Boy. He's memorized much of the book already. It's replaced Pokémon as his reason for living. I've read it twice myself and it's a very cool, fantastically funny and sweet book.
