My very sweet five year old neighbour is currently struggling with leukemia. I've been dropping off food and games and treats but he's having a bit of a rough week and I'd like to take him some comics or books. I realize I'm hopelessly out of touch with books/comics that would appeal to adventurous young boys. Any suggestions?
Lauren_reading My kinder boys love nonfiction books about animals - the creepier the better. Sharks, spiders etc. they also like Dragons Love Tacos![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled My son and his friends love a series called "Who Would Win?" - all about different animals fighting each other (weird, right?!). Much love to this little boy ❤️Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Velociraptor 8y

readinginthedark Some great suggestions! My son really loves Look and Find books, which he can usually do somewhat by himself if necessary. Also, a series by David West called Prehistoric Animals, which features specific types of dinosaurs. And he recently discovered and is obsessed with Mother Bruce!Mother Bruce 8y
Mother BruceLeahBergen Poor little mite! 💗 Fart humour is always a good pick. How aboutWalter the Farting Dog 8y

kalinichta I second Bone, a true all ages adventure. Both my son and I love it. 8y
LauraBrook I agree w @LeahBergen and if you can find a stuffed a Walter that farts to go along with it, it makes the books even better. Plus Bone too. Stay strong, little dude! You're a good neighbor, they're lucky to have you. 💖 8y
CouronneDhiver Aw, bless him. Send all of our love!!!! ❤️❤️ 8y
mjdowens I understand how hard a time this little guy is having. At 74, my father is also being treated for leukemia. Stay strong and positive little man❤️ 8y
xicanti Any volume of YOTSUBA&!, an all-ages manga with lots of standalone chapters, would be great for him. The main character's his age, and she turns everything into an adventure. 8y
