Ideas for 6 year old boy who likes animals

[mumtoone]

I'm looking for ideas of books I can get for DS who is 6 and a reasonably good reader. The sort of books he's enjoyed lately are Muddlepuddle Farm - Alien Invasion by Michael Morpurgo and The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl. He is particularly keen on animals. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Dick King Smith's books? He's written lots of different books about children & animals, dd liked them at that age.

Kipling's Just So Stories, perhaps.

OK its not about animals but at 6 my dd really liked the how to train your dragon series (a film of the 1st book has just come out)..also second the Dick King Smith books. Also what about things like the secret seven and the gaskett books by Alan Alberg

ohh and what about the owl that was afaraid of the dark (there is whole series of them)

The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me by Roald Dahl, its a small chapter book, not as long as The Enormous Crocodile.

Fantastic Mr Fox, Roald Dahl.

I love Road Dahl

Gobbolino the Witches' Cat is another nice one

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Thirded Dick King-Smith. There's a brilliant one about a talking chicken but I really can't remember what it's called...
