NicAnn Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We just finished the three books of My Father's Dragon, in about 3 days... She took to it much faster than I thought she would! So what do we read next? She is 4. We've done all the basics- Winnie the Pooh classics, Charlotte's Web, a few Magic Treehouse (saving the rest for 1st), and a lot of others I can' think of this early. Thanks!

mumto2 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The Boxcar Children is my all time favorite. Make sure you start with the first one. We also really enjoyed the Wizard of Oz books. Lots of great characters. They are free on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfunnybunch Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) At that age/stage, my boys enjoyed the Catwings series, Ursula Le Guin. ETA: Many people we know spoke very higly of the Hank the Cowdog series. Cat Edited March 10, 2012 by myfunnybunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Cricket in Times Square (and sequels). The Trumpet of the Swan. Half Magic. Roald Dahl (there are simpler ones to start with - we loved The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me). Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
