Can anyone recommend classic books that I can read to my 5 year old? I'm struggling to remember what I liked at that age, although I think I started on famous five when I was 6 or 7. Probably a bit too old fashioned for DD though, what else is there, books no child should not read?

Peter Pan is way too old- my 7yo doesn't understand most of it!

All Roald Dahl.

Mr Gum.

4 yr old DD (independent reader) is loving Pippi Longstocking right now. The Lauren Child redux version thingy.

Milli Molly Mandy. My 4yo loves it! We have the cd on a lot in the car. She has Teddy Robinson too but hasn't taken to that in the same way.

Definitely Alice and Peter Pan!

4yo DD adores Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so any Roald Dahl.
