In your opinion, what is/are the best book/s for learning Kreyol. Also, what is the best pocket/small dictionary?

I do take frequent trips to Miami's Haitian bookstores.  The Libreri Mapou owned by Mr Mapou in Miami along with EducaVision have a great collection of Creole learning books.  The most complete book I've come upon so far is Ann Pale Kreyòl An Introductory Course in Haitian Creole by Albert Valdman.

The problem with the small pocket Haitian Creole → English pocket dictionaries that I know is that they are missing a lot of the English language high frequency words and Creole's mostly used words in conversation.
Wally Turnbull's Creole Made Easy Creole learning book happens to have a better selection of words in its glossary than these pocket dictionaries.
