Nightime story for DS (6)

[welliesundermeballgoon]

Current favourite is anything Roald Dahl.

Previous favourites have been dinosaur cove series, Narnia series, Stig of the dump, the butterfly lion etc.

Another series would be good, and something which is nice to read!!

Any ideas?

Dick King Smith books are good. Olga da Polga is a classic, and the Worst Witch are better if he has an 'older ear'

Thanks colditz I put the best of Olga da Polga in my amazon basket! Worst witch will probably be good when DD is a little older so they can listen together, and we have a few DKS, which he has enjoyed.

...Just remembered one of his absolute favourites is Enid Blyton Mr Gallianos (sp?!) Circus.

DS 7 is really enjoying "Geronimo Stilton Lost Treaure...". I'd never heard of Geronimo Stilton but it's from the library and there is a whole series. Definitely age appropriate !

DD loved Swallows and Amazons around that age - they're good to read out loud.

Pongwhiffy!

Lots more Michael Morpurgo to keep you going (DS1, also 6, has enjoyed Kaspar, my Friend Walter and Last Wolf recently). Also David Mellings' goblin books (Stone goblins, Puddle Goblins etc)
Rosemary Manning's Dragon books (Green Smoke is the 1st one)
He enjoyed Astrosaurs last summer (though have to confess I didn't particularly enjoy reading them aloud).

Ds really enjoyed The Last Polar Bears by Harry Horse, and it's very funny.

There are another 2 or 3 after that with the same characters if he likes it.

Back with Jennings as good ones to read aloud as they're a slightly more old-fashioned vocabulary.

Wow thanks for all of the suggestions, lots I haven't heard of!

My son started Cressida Crowell's "How to Train your Dragon series when he was about 6-1/2. Very funny, cleverly written. I use this book a lot in guided reading as she has a lot of made up dragon names and they are fun for the kids to say.

David Walliams is good fun, as is Enid Blyton and Guy Bass (Stitch Head is next on our reading pile)
