Books for 7 year old

[mavisandclaude]

Looking for recommendations for a boy who has read and loved - dogman, captain underpants, Hilo, bunny vs monkey & looshkin. Doesn't have to be comic book style but nothing too serious or advanced. Thanks 😊

My son loves captain underpants too.

He also liked the ‘Dave Pidgeon’ books because they are quite silly.

He has also started ‘last kids on earth’ book but that might not be suitable for kids who worry about monsters etc.

We are reading 'The Twits' atm and my 6 year old is loving it. He also enjoys the Dirty Bertie books, and Mr Gum.

My 7yo son loves all the David Walliams books.

The Bad Guys, 13 Storey Treehouse and anything by Tom Fletcher were popular with my 7yo.

Mr Penguin
13 story treehouse (etc)
100 mile an hour dog
Toto the Ninja cat
Hotel Flamingo
Scarlet Silver

Atticus Claw series.
Adventures of Mr Penguin
The Highland Falcon Thief and it's sequels.

Daisy and the trouble with.... books by Kes Gray are fantastically funny. Lots of funny pictures too.

Horrid Henry
Fantastic mrfox but at 7 might also be ready for other roadh Dahl such as Matilda and Charlie and the chocolate factory
Dinosaur cove
I think DSS also started the first Harry Potter at 7

Other stuff my children have enjoyed...

How did you get your child into these books?

How did you get your child into these books?

We started with bed time reading/ reading assigned by school. When he was little we would read to him or we each do a page. The big switch we found at about 7 was we started to send him off to do independent play. He had Lego, activity books, toys or his books all in his room and he had to go entertain himself for half an hour. So he started reading his books. He was never bored up untill this point so never went off to read himself. But a little bit of boredom goes a long way. Hes 8 now and has got himself a mini library upstairs from lockdown birthday and Christmas.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! Off to search them all now

Beast Quest Series 1
Roald Dhal
David Walliams
Highland Falcon
The Ickabog and First Harry Potter

DS would not have been able to read all of these to himself at 7, but we read every night and at 8 and a bit he read The Ickabog by himself in a few days!

Thank you. My eldest prefers non fiction. I'd love for him to enjoy stories.

The Accidental Prime Minister series.

The Wombles chapter books.

Thanks for the Wombles suggestion, @35andThriving. I'm got the first book on your recommendation and I'm reading it to my 8yo DD, and she loves it (and I do too! )

You're welcome, Raindropsonrosesand
