Firemeboy:
This book is about on par with the Magic Treehouse series, or so I'm told.  I've never read those books.  So while that isn't exactly pre-reader in the sense that they will be able to read if somebody reads it to them, they will find it interesting.  So maybe I'm not describing it right.  All I know is my four year old pestered me constantly to write more, so I could read finish the story.  And since it is a series book, he became furious with me when they didn't catch the villain in the end.  He got into the story, but it's certainly not 'See Jack.  See Jack run.  See Jack get mauled by Spot,"  kind of writing.  If you want to see the first finished story, you can go here:

It's 6000 words.  Our original intent was to give this a 'church history' slant, but if you read the first chapter, you could see that with about 3 edits, you could make it American History.  If my publisher says no, we might try to make those edits and go national, but I had so much rejection when I shopped Chickens around, I hesitate to try there until maybe I've got more successes under my belt.

Who knows?

Oh, and as always, I'm writing this book in a totally collaborative manner, so if anybody wants to drop in comment or make changes, you are more than welcome.

Beginning readers haven't been "see Spot run" for a long time. Definitely check out Magic Treehouse--and check out Time Spies when it comes out this month, which is in a similar vein. Three kids find a magic spyglass in their new house, and it takes them back in time and to other fantastical places.
