Stay Away From the Junkyard! (Reading Rainbow Book)
Aladdin, 1992
Adorable, quirky, and smart.
+ Learning that being different is okay.
This is one of my favorite children's books. While it does teach the wisdom of being open to new people and experiences, it doesn't feel at all preachy. Instead, it's lively, colorful, and fun. It's one of those books that adults will like as much as the kids.
