My dd has just clicked with reading chapter books over this time in lockdown and has been ripping through the Sophie’s Adventures books by Dick King Smith. She’s quite sensitive and likes animal stories - she has Holly Webb and Animal magic books at bedtime but really likes following the girl character in the Sophie books. I’m not quite sure how we’re going to follow them!

Does anyone know of anything else like them?

Thanks

DD is just 7, she adores the 'Daisy and the trouble with...' books that were reccommended on here.

My daughter liked the Worst Witch and the Amelia Fang series.
She's now moved on to the Narnia books which are harder going but she's enjoying them too.

She might enjoy the Lucy Daniels Animal Ark stories: Kittens in the Kitchen, Pony in the Porch.

She might also enjoy some of the Enid Blyton farm stories such as The Children of Cherry Tree Farm, The Children of Willow Farm, Willow Farm Again.

I don't know Sophie's Adventures but my DD (aged 6) is loving the My Naughty Little Sister series, she's also reading the first Harry Potter, has loved Captain Underpants and Horrid Henry. She's another one who's really got into chapter books in lockdown possibly due to the fact that any mention of boredom (or group fighting as I also have 2 DS 8 & 4) has led to me telling everyone to get a book and sit down Grin

Would Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White be any good? :)

Thank you - she’s had Magic Faraway Tree read to her but didn’t enjoy it and I did think of Worst Witch as they were my favourites but she is more into real world things than magic at the moment.

I haven’t heard of Mammoth Academy so will look them up!

Worst Witch? Mammoth Academy? Faraway Tree?
