I was going to say my 4 year old loves The Worst Witch but can see you’ve got that covered. She also like a series called ‘Isadora Moon’ (about a vampire fairy!) and the Rainbow Magic ones (which are awful but she likes them!)

Daisy books by Kes Grey
Dirty Bertie
Jeremy Strong books ('My Brothers Famous' and 'The 100 mile an hour dog' series)
My Naughty Little Sister
Amelia Jane by Enid Blyton

For your sanity avoid Horrid Henry and the Rainbow Fairies. I repeat - avoid!!

[SoyDora]

Ah yes she likes ‘My Naughty Little Sister’ too

I started the enchanted wood series when DS was about 4.5 - I wasn't sure if he was a bit too young for it, but he absolutely loved them!

He's now just 5, and we've just finished listening to The Wizard of Oz, which he's also really enjoyed - that was on a podcast in chapter instalments and the lady reading it was brilliant with the different voices!

Thank you so much

The Winnie the Pooh books are great fun to read aloud at that age.

We also read the Clarice Bean stories to my boy, who enjoyed them - he was already familiar with CB from the picture book.

The Anna Hibiscus books are also good - there are a couple of picture books (Anna Hibiscus' Song and Splash, Anna Hibiscus) as well as a series of longer chapter books.
