Could anyone recommend any great books for a bright 5 yo? My dd has just stated yr 1 and is beyond the pre-school stuff like the Gruffalo etc, but not quite up to the Famous Five yet. I have just ordered some of the Rainbow Fairy books from Scholastic, and she loved 'Flat Stanley' (but not 'Stanley in Space' - there were too many things she didn't 'get' and I had to explain, like who the President of the United States is). I have trawled around the bookshops and charity shops this morning, but still feel like there's either a bit of a gap in the market, or I'm just not seeing the best stuff for this age.
I adore books and am so excited about the stuff she'll be able to read soon, but don;t want to give her stuff that's too hard now in case it puts her off reading (I was force-fed Dickens far too young and it's ruined him for me for life - what a shame!)
Any ideas?
