How to eat fried worms
the mixed up files of basil finkle(something sorry can't remember the last name)
 
I second Hank the Cowdog. My oldest son also loved Junie B and Nate the Great when he was that age. I was personally a fan of Captain Underpants. Whoops! Did I say that out loud? Now my four year old daughter is all about Junie B. The 3 year olds.. not so much. phew!
Teresa- I believe the book is From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiller by E.L. Konigsburg.
