Book recommendations for my almost 6-year-old Roald Dahl fan

[WigWamBam]

Dd is working her way through Roald Dahl's books, and is thoroughly enjoying them. But she now says that by comparison, her other books are boring because the writing isn't as good - she likes the descriptive narrative and exciting storylines, and suddenly Milly Molly Mandy and Enid Blyton just don't cut the mustard!

Any recommendations for children's writers who write exciting, imaginative books with similarly good use of language and narrative?

How about;
Polly and the wolf (there are quite a few in the series)
Simon and the Witch
The wizard of Oz (or is that too old for her do you think?)

Clever Polly and The Stupid Wolf stories are SUPERB. And huge fun to read aloud.

Tom's Midnight Garden.

oh yes, clever polly and the stupid wolf are right up there on my fave stories to read list. They are brilliant and really laugh out loud funny.

Tom's Midnight Garden ... oh, yes! She'd love that.

Who is the author of the Clever Polly ones?

catherine storr (just looked on amazon!)
