There was a cartoon “Coal Black and the Seven Dweebs” or something like that. I don’t know if there is also a book.

The Smile Ambassadors...but its about a two-headed turtle, not MLK...But Zack and Mack did write the tome! They have a follow up too, The Smile Thief and as we sit, the boys are working on their third book, The Smile People.

Don’t know if that qualifies, but Zack and Mack are a pretty awesome duo, being two-headed and all of that. It is suitable for all humans!

The Bible.

Dr. King was a minister, what better way to honor him.

Nice idea, but you are overlooking the fact that this is for a pre-school class. We need something with pictures!

The ‘customers who bought this also bought’ list looks worth browsing through as well.

Get a copy of his FBI file. That should be interesting. You can introduce your little one to new words like “prostitute” and “Communist”
