Perfect for 1st & 2nd Grade Readers

My daughter is in 2nd grade. She loves to read the Keeker books on her own. They are perfect for 1st or 2nd grade-level readers (not too long, plenty of pictures, interesting stories).

Good series if you don't want stories with violence or creepy stuff in 'em

We were looking for some beginning chapter-books that were reasonably intelligent, nonviolent, not filled with weird messages, unpleasant behavior, violence or issue-oriented anxieties... The "Keeker" series was perfect, about a bright-eyed, sometimes silly little girl nicknamed Keeker who lives on a farm with her parents and various animals, including a mischievous Shetland pony named Plum. This is the fourth book in the series, and Keeker is now ten years old, but no less kooky. Keeker decides to protect a family of groundhogs that her dad wants to evict from the horse pasture; meanwhile the adults are all focussed on that on her mom's horse, who is about to have a foal, and Keeker gets jealous of all the attention being given the foal. Not the strongest book in the series, but it has its moments. I'd give it a 3.5, if I could.
