My (nearly) five year old ds is loving the faraway tree, Millie mollie Mandy, naughty little sister, Teddy Robinson stories. As you can see these reading choices have been slightly influenced by my own early favourites! Can you give me some ideas to broaden his reading - anything more contemporary would be great. He likes Fantastic Mr Fox and Giraffe and Pelly etc too.

Dick King-Smith's Sophie stories are ace. Wish he would write the equivalent about a little boy!

Mine loved The Gruffalo and anything else by the authors, the Katie Morag series (about a girl living on a Hebridean Island, but not at all girly, IYKWIM), anything by Dr Seuss and Babette Cole. We pretty much read anything and everything. Now 7 his favourite books are the Horrid Henry series...oh well...

Is it more stuff to read to him or for him to read? Some of the authors I liked to use with infant classes are Mick Inkpen, Eric Carle, Pat Hutchins, John Burningham, Shirley Hughes, the Alhbergs, Anthony Browne, Michael Rosen.
