  • Leaving out the words is a bit of a handicap. You could try "Nose is not Toes" by Dr Seuss.

    I was thinking of the Dr. Suess books too.

  • Hi Weylon.com,
    Why don't you start with some of the classics that are not very long?

    THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, by Ernest Hemingway, is 132 pages.
    OF MICE AND MEN, John Steinbeck, 112 pages.

    Both of these, the writing is tight.
    Another idea for you...go to the local library, browse in non-fiction or biography for teens. Sometimes those authors bypass all the verbosity; I remember picking up a really good biography when I wanted to learn about Hans Christian Andersen, for example.

    "Of Mice and Men" blew me away when I read it. In a great way.

    PLOT SPOILER!!!! OF MICE AND MEN!!!

    and in a very sad way, too

  • WelbyQuentin, I must have read OF MICE AND MEN when I was around twenty...yes it is one of those books you are never quite the same afterward, and in a good way...
