DS shares my love of reading and devours books. He started off with books like Diary of Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates, etc, but has recently moved onto full novels.
I bought him The Boy at the Back of the Class, he loved it and finished it really quickly.
We were watching the original Matilda the other day, Moby Dick featured which started a conversation between DS and me about the classics. I thought it would be a good idea for us to read some children's classics together and suggested Moby Dick as I haven't read it. I've just gone to look at it and apparently it's not a suitable children's book 😂 Unless it's the illustrated and abridged version. I had no idea.
I've bought him the first Harry Potter book for Christmas, and I'm hoping he falls in love with the series. He's not been interested in it in the slightest but now he's reading more "grown-up" books I'm hoping he enjoys it.
Does anyone have any suggestions of some children's "classics" that I can read to him that would be enjoyable for us both?
