book recommendations for 6 year old boys?

[sjcmum]

I have two godsons and a nephew who are all 6 - I'd like to get them books for Christmas but feel a bit out of touch with what they would like. Any suggestions?

Horrid Henry , Beast Quest, Enid Blyton Secret Seven

Tintin, tintin, tintin

My 6 year old is going through all the Roald Dahl books and loves them He didn't like tintin but enjoyed Asterix.

He still prefers books with lots of pictures even when hes being read to.

My DD is loving 2 series of books aimed for boys- Astrosaurs (think dinosaurs in space) and Dinosaur Cove.

Roald Dahl, Asterix, Captain Underpants, the Jeremy Strong box set.

All good cos there's lots of them!!

(And the Captain Underpants have titles like Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants. Or something. )

Mr Gum - anarchic, fantastic, inventive
Jack Stalwart adventures
Annuals? eg Ben 10, Scooby Doo, Pixar/Disney

another vote for beast quest and astrosaurs. Also non fiction stuff about egyptians, dinosaurs etc usually go down well.

great ideas thankyou!! Amazon here we come...

Jeremy James stories (by David Henry Wilson).

Have a look on The Book People (.co.uk) - they have collections of Beast Quest (£6.99 for 6 books), Astrosaurs (£9.99 for 10 books) & Oliver Moon (£9.99 for 10 books) with free delivery over £25.

ds1 is 6 next month

I'm getting You're A Bad Man Mr. Gum. for my 6 year old nephew. DD age 6 and me find it very funny.

Allan Ahlberg's "The Man Who Wore All His Clothes" - great story with funny picture s& captions. Our two love this and there are other books in the series which are just as good

my dd LOVES Diary of a Wimpy Kid, she is 7

better than Horrid Henry, imo
