I posted a while back looking for suggestions on books for 6.5 year old DS and got some great suggestions. He has started devouring books over the past few months so I am looking for more ideas.
Would Charlie and the Chocolate Factory be good for this age or is it more for older kids? I think he would like the style of humour in the story but not sure if the reading level is too high.
I am considering letting him try Harry Potter. My concern is that it would be too scary for him. I see lots of people saying they read Harry Potter to their kids at this age but was anyone's DC scared?
He loved Captain Underpants and Ricky Ricotta series. He also likes Nate the Great. He is so-so on Cam Jansen.
He was not interested in Encyclopedia Brown but I'd like to give it another try. I think it was a bit beyond his level when I first took it out of the library but might be more suitable now. Plus, I think he was distractd by Captain Underpants at the time.
He was not interested in the Dan Gutman series - Miss Daisy is Crazy. Don't know why but he refused to read them.
He was meh on the Geronimo Stilton series. Tried 2 but wasn't dying to read more once they were done. Same with Magic Treehouse.
He loves comics, particularly Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes.
I'm trying to have a good rotation of books on-hand now that summer is here.
