Am trying to encourage DS that reading is fun.
So many books seem girl-centric or badly written if aimed at boys, for example the Ben10 books are so boring.
(This book needs to be good so I enjoy it)
We started with some of the Puffin series of 'Stories for 4 year olds' and 'Stories for 5 year olds', which were good , but have found that a whole book is better for getting involved with the characters.
So we have started reading a book together at bedtime and we have enjoyed
Gobbolino the Witch's Cat and Charlotte's Web greatly.
I was thinking perhaps 'The Horse and his Boy' next, but need some good reading aloud books with preferably a male or feisty female hero.
(DD too fond of Disney princesses so needs an injection of gumption)
Any suggestions gratefully received
