Accessible Chapter Books for a 5 year old girl

[BaconAndAvocado]

DD has just got into reading and it's a joy to behold!

She loves the Fairy Animal series and the Secret Kingdom, though the latter is sometimes a bit too challenging.

Any other ideas?

Wow, thanks bendy

I LOVE the Book People but have only ever ordered from their catalogue. Will have a look online.

we have a stupid number of books.

favourites here for my girls in R and Yr1 are...

Milly Molly Mandy
My Naughty Little Sister
The Worst Witch - there are 7 of these now
Holly Webb Magic Molly books
lots of Dick King Smith
Rainbow fairies/secret mermaid
Tilly Tiptoes
Lulu and... can't remember who wrote them but Book People do a set of 6 - little girl who wants to be a vet or something
The Jill Tomlinson books

Have you thought about non fiction? The usbourne beginners range has loads of different titles. They are quite short and the text is a good size.

I would definitely agree with the Claude series.

Also explore a brand new series from Shirley Hughes & her daughter Clara - the Dixie O'Day series.

Fortunately, the milk by Neil Gaiman is also a great one. It is a perfect cross over between picture book & chapter book to its familiar structure.

After that - move on to Oliver & the Seawigs. It's up for an award this week - BLue Peter Book Award - the winners will be announced on World Book Day.

Gobbolino the Witch's Cat is a lovely children's chapter book.

emma I love Shirley Hughes

. We have My Naughty Little Sister which has brought back so many fond memories!

I'd second the Claude books.

Also, look out for the new series by Shirley Hughes and her daughter Clara. They are fab!

First one is Dixie O'day in the Fast Lane;
