Hi there,

I have a five year old who is a mostly fluent reader who has just started reading independently as a hobby which I am very keen to support. I’m looking for relatively long books but which have an age-appropriate plot and would be very grateful for suggestions! TIA.

DD really liked the easier Enid Blytons at that age, eg Magic Faraway Tree. Also Ottoline books by Chris Riddell, Claude books by Alex T Smith and the Pip Street series by Jo Simmons.
