Mine loved the Magic Treehouse books, and the Adventure Island series by Helen Moss.

Also old classics like Babe and The HodgeHeg, and he absolutely loved Polly and the Wolf

Would make use of the local library before buying.

We borrowed book 1 and 2 of a series to see if they liked it, then bought a boxed set from somewhere like The Works or an online bookseller.

Thank you all, we've gone for the railway children to keep us going for now and I'm going to heed the library advice and see if I can pick up other suggestions Smile
