Animal Adventure Picture Books for Ages 3 to 8

Adventure Rhyme books are written for children ages 3 to 8. Children ages 3 to 5 enjoy them read aloud by a parent, grandparent or teacher, and beginning readers ages 6 to 8 can read the short, friendly text on their own. An Iguana Named Lana and Huffin the Puffin share the same age range.

Each book takes about 5 minutes to read aloud at a calm bedtime pace, so reading An Iguana Named Lana and Huffin the Puffin together takes about 10 minutes. That length fits a short bedtime routine, a classroom story time or a quiet moment before a nap without losing a young child's attention.

An Iguana Named Lana has 32 pages and Huffin the Puffin has 36 pages. Both are illustrated picture books written by Bob Vernon, with illustrations by Robby Cook and lettering by Zachary Vernon. Each one is about a 5 minute read aloud, and together they make up the Adventure Bundle.

One hardcover book costs $14.99 USD. The Adventure Bundle includes An Iguana Named Lana and Huffin the Puffin for $23.99 USD, which saves you $5.99, or 20%, compared with buying the two hardcovers separately. Paperback, eBook and audiobook formats are also available, and each price is shown on the book pages.

You can buy An Iguana Named Lana and Huffin the Puffin in four formats: hardcover, paperback, eBook and audiobook. The hardcover costs $14.99 USD, and you can pick a different format with the format selector on each book page before adding it to your cart. The Adventure Bundle includes both books.
