Animal books for DS aged 6.5

Any recommendations of books with animals in for DS aged 6.5? He's read and enjoyed all of Zoe's rescue zoo series, the Jill Tomlinson owl who's afraid of the dark etc series, Michael Bond's Olga da Polga series, and absolutely loved the King of the Copper Mountain. He has a low fear threshold, so I don't think he's ready for Animals of the Farthing wood yet, and he doesn't like books that are too silly. He's a fast reader, and even with the library I'm struggling to keep him supplied with books he likes so any further ideas of things to try would be welcome!

Dick King Smith books?... the hodgeheg is our favourite!

...and “the sheep pig”

Jasmine Green series (Helen Peters i think). They have titles like "A pig called Truffle"

Animal Ark

Hotel Flamingo

Fabio the Flamingo Detective

I forgot to add, we've tried Dick King Smith with mixed success - Hodgeheg and Happy Mouse Day he liked (not loved) but Fox busters and the Queen's nose he didn't like, but Sheep-pig might go down well and is worth ordering in to library thank you. He also liked Michael Morpugo's Mudpuddle farm books.

The Jasmine Green and Animal Ark books look potentially right up his street though thanks!

If he enjoyed Olga, he might like The World According To Humphrey
