For girls, though, I would recommend Smile, which tells the wonderful story of a young girl's battle with braces.

There are so many books being put into comic book form these days, including classics and even the Bible.

Sometimes they don't have much text, but for some kids, the very fact it's a book will lead to more reading when they are ready. And this will seem strange, but try your boys on poetry books.

Kenn Nesbitt has a great site Poetry4Kids where he offers some of his funny verse, and he has a couple of books out too, one called My Hippo Has the Hiccups that is available as a free download right now.
