For a very able 5yo reader who can read dinasaur cove himself with help for concentration only but suspect not need much longer.

He loves the fact that it is dinosaurs and fossil.

Will need something similar for when he has finished and judging by the rate he has suddenly started flying through books it wont be long.

What can you recommend? What have your boys enjoyed?

Cant do Mr Dayl as his print face is too small for him atm so need the slightly larger print size. Ditto with the normal horrid henry (as apposed to the early readers which have been read)

TIA

Beast Quest.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid (might be a bit too "old" for a 5 year old)
My ds also liked Astrosaurs (Dinosaurs in space) but I think it had the smaller typeface.
