We use a lot of audiobooks here and my 7 yo had recently enjoyed:
The Secret Garden
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
The Clementine Series (author Sara Pennypacker)
The World According to Humphy (also a series)
Little House in the Big Woods (on the Prairie)
Mercy Watson (3 books)
One Hundred and One Dalmatians (the original, not Disney)
He's been reading books from series like Puppy Place, Animal Ark, Pony Friends, etc. Maybe the Penderwicks or Piper Reed Navy Brat. Pipi Longsocking, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, or Heidi.
