Magic Tree House Series, by Mary Pope Osborne

An exciting, interesting and easy to follow series of books which has subjects to grab the attention of any 5-7 year old girl or boy. Perfectly sized chapters for bedtime reading and most of the books include some detail about the time or object so they are educational too.

If you are looking for first chapter books for your reluctant reader, you've hit the jackpot! With titles covering, ninjas, Egypt, knights and dinosaurs there's something to suit every little boy. The type is well spaced out, there is plenty of illustrations and loads of repetition which make this an easy, stress free read. The story continues throughout the series and my rising 7 couldn't wait to start the next book. Great!
