To ask what is a good chapter book to read to a four year old?

[Justmeagain78]

We've done Charlie and the chocolate factory and the magic faraway tree - (she loved both) -what else would be good to try?

My 4 year old is enjoying listening to the bfg at the moment with her big sister. I don't think she is picking up the full story but enough of it to follow along.

Winny the witch.
The wizard of Oz
Matilda
George's Marvellous Medicine

DD loves rainbow magic- they are all a bit samey though.
She was fascinated by Milly Molly Mandy as it was about 'the olden days'

Arabel and Mortimer - joan aiken

Matilda
The Worst Witch series
My Naughty Little Sister

She's maybe still a little young, but I have lovely memories of being read the 'Narnia' books. 'Worst Witch' are good and I had forgotten all about them :)

My dd loves matilda

Mine loved rainbow magic at that age. Very simple stories.

The wishing chair series

Secret seven - just mix the genders up a bit so the girls aren't always looking after the boys and tidying up.

The little wooden horse and gobbolino the witch's cat by Ursula moray Williams. My brother was 4 when my mum was reading the little wooden horse to him - I used to pretend to scorn it, as I was a big girl of 6, but I was always hanging around outside his room at reading time somehow... It was so vivid that I remember it clearly now, some 32 years later

My dd loved the magic Molly books.

I read the Dahl books once we had watched the films with my boys. I know that's all the wrong way round but they loved that they recognised parts of the film in the books. Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were favourites.

Wind in the Willows

Teddy Robinson. It's quietly subversive whilst being utterly adorable.

These books are brilliant: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_6?k=claude+books&sprefix=claude

Gobbolino, The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, Mrs Pepperpot, anything by Astrid Lindgren, the other Faraway Tree books (there are 4) if you haven't done them.

Oh yes, I second Claude.

How about Flat Stanley (quite short) and Horrid Henry, OP? Just got those, along with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to read over the summer hols with DS1. They look good.

I came one here to say The Magic Faraway Tree!

I second Milly Molly Mandy, My Naughty Little Sister is

How about Dick King Smith's Sophie books, Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House in the Big Woods, Winne the Pooh, Paddington, Ramona (the first one).

Marking place! These look great.

scared noob omg the little wooden horse! What a blast from the past I loved that book as a child!

The borrower's are a favourite of ours, fantastic Mr fox.

Winnie the Pooh!

Oh dear this thread has been bad for my bank balance

Ds has just got into the joy of chapter books (thanks to the wonderful Claude series) and can't wait to introduce him to so many more stories!

Flat Stanley, Mrs pepperpot, whimsy wood, most Roald Dahl books, famous five and other Enid blyton.
