It needs to be a book they want to read or is interesting to them.

It seems like most kids are interested in Fly Guy and Pete the Cat. Both are relative simple and funny. Pete the Cat also has multiple levels of reading and also some comic style layout ones. Daniel Tiger and Bluey are decent too, but Daniel Tiger can be a bit boring.

Mo Willems is an author that writes the Pigeon series, and also the Piggie and Gerald series. They are books that are funny and easy to read.

I've tried to introduce books I liked from when I was starting read, and so far only Robert Munsch and Little Critter has gained any kind of traction. He refuses to touch Berenstein Bears and also not a fan of Franklin. Can't get him on Clifford either. Though admittedly Berenstein Bears can be a bit long winded.

Don't worry about how educational or helpful the books are, and don't worry about the content too much as long as you don't find it highly objectionable, reading is reading, the more they read the better it is.
