I still read to DS every night but need some inspiration. He's a good reader and loves listening to longer books. We've recently read:
Roald Dahl - almost all of his children's book
Harry Potter (1-4, 5 will be next but I need a break)
Other JK Rowling, HP-related ones
Moomin books
The Mouse & the Motorcycle (Beverley Clearly)
Treehorn
Flat Stanley
Famous Five/ Secret Seven
I tried to read:
Swallows & Amazons but the language was too old fashioned. Maybe when he's a bit bigger.
The Faraway Tree books (Enid Blyton) but he wasn't ready for them. Might be worth a try.
I also want to try Pippi Longstocking
What else?
