Books for good 4 year old reader

Hi all you experts.
I know there have been various threads on this and I have searched the archives, but all the suggestions I've found were a bit too advanced for DS2. He was 4 at the end of August and is reading really well (for example, the TA was telling me she gave him the carol lyrics in the concert yesterday and he was reading things like "since our redeemer made us glad"), but the next lot of school reading books (ORT Stage 9 and 10) are really too old for him in terms of interest.
The teacher's given him lots of Blue Bananas, which are very easy for him now. He still wants colour pictures and early chapter books are offputting to him.
Last night he chose to read me half of "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" (would have read it all, but I made him go to bed) and that was quite good coz it's about cute little bunnies with nice pictures, but has words like "consequence" and "camomile" in.
I will do another archive search, but just wondered if anyone had any specific ideas once we've finished the works of Beatrix Potter. Thanks!

LOL about the computers - I know the problem well! If you wait until your local secondary school has broken up for Christmas, there is some chance the things will have been safely appropriated by teenagers. Good luck!
