The Milkman
I just read The Milkman, by Carol Foskett Cordsen and illustrated by Douglas B.Jones, seven times in a row to Gregory. I think he likes it. And better yet, I like it too. It has a nice rhythm to the rhyme, the illustrations are fun (a sort of 50-ish advertising style) and the story is peaceful but interesting. If you have a little one about, see if your library has it and take a look.
