The Teddy Robinson books by Joan G Robinson have gone down very well with DD(6) as have all the Arabel's Raven ones by Joan Aiken. Might have something to do with DH's spirited rendition of them though - not nearly so interesting when I read them, as I don't do all the voices

We're doing Charlie & the Chocolate Factory withh dd (5) now and she loves it.
Narnai books have also gone down well but she does find them a bit hard to follow.

The ones they love are

Horrid Henry
Rainbow Fairies books
Secret Unicorn books
Enchanted Wood
The Magic Wishing Chair
Gobbolino the witch's cat
Clarice Bean
The adventures of the little wooden horse

THey also love comic style books like Tintin and Asterix though I'm not sure they understand them fully (I think they like the pictures!)
