DD is 5 and in Y1. She reads anything in sight and is bored with the school reading books, which she finds very easy. At the end of reception the teacher told me I should be starting her on simple chapter books, but the Y1 teacher doesn't agree, and isn't happy about moving her up to higher bands. I don't want to be pushy, and I accept the teacher may have her reasons for keeping DD down though I wish she'd explain them to me!
Anyway, I thought if I got her interesting books to read at home she will hopefully keep enjoying reading even if not at school, so I'm looking for recommendations. I have quite a lot from my childhood; I'm looking for newer stuff that I might have missed. To give a general idea, DD reads (and comprehends - I do check!) the Worst Witch, Anna Hibiscus, Milly-Molly-Mandy, My Naughty Little Sister, Mr Pink-Whistle, and her latest one from the library is The Cat and the King by Nick Sharratt. What else is out there?
