Recommendations for books for 6 year old boy?

Hi All!
Can I get recommendations for books a 6 year old might enjoy? Looking for chapter books, readability isn't an issue as his dad will be reading them to him as a bedtime story every night, so he just needs to be able to follow the plot! They're reading Charlie and the chocolate factory at the moment.

We currently have a lot of David walliams, roald Dahl and time fletcher books in the house from 9 year old son 😊

Horrid Henry? There's also an easy reader HH series, which DS is enjoying reading.

We're also working our way through the Beast Quest series. Fairly awful, but he enjoys them 😂

The boy who grew/lived with/flew with Dragons, Flat Stanley, The Worst Witch, Kid Normal - all popular in our house.

DS and I are just finishing Adrian Edmonton’s Tilly and the Time Machine and it’s wonderful, I’ve bought his other book for DS’s stocking.

He also loves Pokemon chapter books, as he’s Pokemon obsessed.

My boys loved the bear grylls adventure books. There are some for younger readers based around a magic compas. They also love Humphrey the hamster books.

My son is 7 and loving me reading the Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series. He loves the illustrations.

He also loved Flat Stanley but has outgrown them a bit.

Thanks everyone! Lots to look into, never heard of some of them 😁

The spy dog series were some of DSs favourites at that age. Astrosaurs by the same author were another nice set.
