We have Paddington read by Stephen Fry and it's wonderful! Wink

Rabbit and Bear books are brilliant
Captain Pug series also good

SiouxsieSiouxStiletto · 22/07/2023 10:13

And if I remember correctly @cottonbuds01, Captain Underpants and Horrid Henry both have illustrations.

Have you enrolled him in the local library? Both of mine loved choosing their own books at this age and they usually have a good selection of Early Reader type books as well Wink

Billy and the mini monsters series
the faraway tree adventures, which has colourful pictures and good for early readers

Our Paddington box set and the Katie series have been heavily-thumbed

DelurkingAJ · 03/08/2023 16:43

For something completely interactive you could look at the Puzzle Island etc books from Usborne.
