I just read THE DOGHOUSE by Jan Thomas and think it fits the guidelines of the Geisel. I LOVED it!
I love Jan Thomas books. They are so simple, but hilarious at the same time. I thought "The Doghouse" was a good pick, but in order to get some of the subtle jokes at the end you must read "A Birthday for Cow". I actually think that "A Birthday for Cow" should be added to the list. I think I enjoyed it more than "The Doghouse", but don't get me wrong I still really like "The Doghouse" too.
