Ideas for chapter books to read with my super-interested 5 year-old DS

DS loves his bedtime stories, and about 6 months ago, we started to introduce him to chapter books.

We've read our way through all the Roald Dahl books, and he has absolutely loved them, but now I'm a bit stuck on where to go next: I think he's too young for Harry Potter etc just yet, and all the books I see that would be the right level of story are very girly - there don't seem to be any boy-ish equivalents of the books you get for girls about princesses and ponies!

DS won't be reading them on his own - he's only 5, and besides is at Welsh-medium school, so won't learn to read in English officially until he's 7!

Help from those who've been there, please!

the Noisy Village stories are great for that age group and suitable for boys & girls

Flat Stanley is great - the whole "Stanly" series are good but that is the best.

We are just doing "Mrs Pepperpot" (DS is 6, DD is 4).
