We've been reading DS (5) Roald Dahl's novels for the last few months and we're nearing the end of them. Can anyone suggest something similar and similarly age appropriate, please? He's not at the stage of reading books of that level himself yet, and before we started on Roald Dahl, we were reading things like The Gruffalo at bedtime, so these are the first chapter books he's been exposed to. Is five old enough for Harry Potter?! I tried him on a Dick King-Smith but he wasn't very engaged - he's not very interested in talking animals. When I was his age and older, I was all about the talking animals (Colin Dann, Michael Morpugo, Richard Adams, Brian Jacques, that sort of thing) and I can't really think of anything more in the Roald Dahl mold.
