Books for Where he is at....

So, what books do your kids just love? Any great suggestion for a boy's boy who can READ but is just 6.

Thanks for these will check them out.

I just posted about this - http://ourworldwideclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/08/books-4-big-kids-captain-underpants.html - full of potty humour though so it may not be your thing.

Thanks Kylie! I read your blog too so I did see your recommendation. How bad are they? I AM kind of picky. I just hate things like the word stupid but silly is okay. I should probably just get one from the library and read it myself!

I am always struggling to find good, age-appropriate books for my 7yo. She is an excellent reader, but not ready for 4th-grade topics! :)

Have you tried Cam Jansen or Jigsaw Jones? They are both mystery chapter book series. Natalie also enjoys the Magic School Bus chapter books from time to time - she really enjoys nonfiction. Also good - Lighthouse Family series by Cynthia Rylant, Daisy Dawson series by Steve Voake.

Hi Amy! We like Cam Jansen but have not checked out the Jigsaw jones or Daisy Dawson yet.

I am assuming you have done the Little House books, but what about My fathers Dragon trilogy? I have also heard good things about the Grandma's Attic series. Oh yeah, also Encyclopedia Brown! Josh might like those too!
