Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for children's books that would keep us going until DS gets old enough for the Lord of the Rings trilogy? I read The Hobbit with him at bedtime and he loved it but I think the trilogy would be too old for him.

We've also read Impossible Creatures, Narnia, Five Children and It. He loves the traditional stuff that has a classic feel and he's good with vocab, imagery and inference. Adventure and tension are fine, I just don't want to either scare him or read something in advance of when he'll get the most out of it. Suggestions please! Thank you 😀
