Can anyone recommend any books for my six year old (Year 1) girl/boy twins please, for me to read to them?
Some of the main ones they have already enjoyed:
Naughtiest Unicorn
Geromino Stilton
Mr Penguin
Claude
My Naughty Little Sister
Sophie books
Horrid Henry
World's Worst Children
Mummy Fairy and Me (I think that's the titles, the Sophie Kinsella ones)
Ideally I have a preference for books with female main characters as we've read quite a few with male ones/they seem to be more common. But happy to have ones with male main characters too.
My son has enjoyed all of these. My daughter is a much more reluctant reader, and often rejects things if she thinks they'll be scary. She loves unicorns, mermaids etc but refused to even contemplate the Rainbow Fairies ones, I don't really know why.
They're being read Roald Dahl at school so would prefer to avoid at home. I also really hated the David Walliams as reading it made me feel sick so would rather not read more of his! I think I'd generally prefer more modern stuff though, I was surprised at how old fashioned the Sophie books were in terms of lots of negative stuff about being fat etc.
