What books would you recommend for a 4 1/2 year old reader?

Ds is now reading on his own, fairly competently but obviously still struggling with some words. He gets reading books from school, but these are mostly ORT, and he finds them easy/gets bored. He is far happier with the Lynley Dodd books, but we have gone through them all. They have in the last week started to bring home teacher recommend books to read with us, but these are more of the "hairy Maclairy" style, or similar. I would like to give him something challenging but straightforward, as he now says he wants to read on his own. I dont want to hothouse him, just keep him interested and show him that books are great fun...any ideas please..we can haunt the library if req! .thanks..
I also dont want to keep asking the teacher as i dont want her to label me "pushy"...

If I find out about the spellings it will be a miracle! I have no idea what ERR is either! Sounds a lovely school.

Well, I can tell you what it stands for - Early Reading Research - but I'm still none the wiser as to what it actually is!
