Reading books 6 year old

[ChilliPanda]

Hi there

my boys are adults now but I always tried to have great books in their life growing up. I'm wanting to buy a set for my nephew for his 6th birthday. He's developing well and into football/ Pokemon / nature

Any recommendations would be appreciated Thankyou

I'd consider a subscription to Nat Geo Kids. It was bought for my DS around this age by his DA and he loved it.

The boys in my class love the Magic Frankie books by Frank Lampard. They are 7/8 but good to keep or read together. They do a set of them.

My son always loved the Ultimate Football Hero series. Books all about the all time greats if the football world. They’re great books and not too pricey either! Can get them series by series in a nice little box set as well

The children in my school enjoy Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid, both have several books in the series.

There's also the ultimate football books https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=football+heroes+books&adgrpid=118548219060&hvadid=606389514389&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1006886&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=396904928740147533&hvtargid=kwd-352118623812&hydadcr=200752251757&tag=hydrukspg-21&ref=pddsl3z0aa6gc3qqe

Also Marcus Rashford has non-fiction books too.

My 6 year old has enjoyed:

Treehouse series
Beast Quest series
Peanut Jones trilogy (female protagonist, if that makes a difference to you one way or the other)

Have a look at Fae Tales by Sigurd Odinsson on Amazon - they're absolutely fantastic - tells the history of English traditions in beautiful stories (for boys/girls - young and old!)

Also Fae Tales Seasons - that is particularly fab for learning about bonefire night, Halloween, Yule etc 😊

You'll support a new author too.

The frankies magic football books are great. We bought one and loved it so ended up with full collection. Marcus Rashfords books are good to.

Thankyou... sounds good!

Great idea .. I did this for my youngest but had forgotten

Thanks .. reading for enjoyment is key isn't it

Thanks.. he's year one would this be too advanced? I guess dad could read to him if so

Thankyou

I'll look thanks

Thanks

Thanks I'll take a look

It's difficult to tell if they'll be right for a child in year 1, I see children from years 1-5 loving Tom Gates and Wimpy kid - they have drawings throughout so the text doesn't appear too heavy. Also the characters are fun. Have a look at them, maybe an idea for him to grow into?

Royal Rabbits of London is a lovely series of books to read to a younger child - my daughter loved them and we still talk about them.
