Think my 7 year old DD might like it ... or maybe it's too old fashioned now. It has most certainly been a while since I read them!

TIA.

There were Mystery ones, with a policeman called Fatty maybe? Can't remember a cockatoo though

Don't forget Malory Towers as well

Can anybod remember another series that Enid Blyton had (not the Secret Seven)
Similar set-up to the famous five, but one of them had a pet cockatoo

(or am I making this up?)

oh forgot to say, dd1(11) and dd2(9) keep sneaking in for dd3's bedtime story, so I'm sure your 7 year old would love them too!

dd3 loves them she had them on cd (free from Grandma's paper ages ago) and got the first couple of books for Christmas - she's 5 next week (dd3, not grandma....)

they are a little old fashioned, e.g. the first book mentioned the children not knowing if they were allowed to talk at the table at tea (I wish mine would shut up!) and we've had some funny language since - dd1 apolgised for being beastly the other day

all good fun though
