Re: Chapter book suggestions for my 5-year old. Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 21/10/2010 04:36:27 PM
While his reading skills are coming along nicely, he won't be doing the rwading, my husband and I will. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for chapter books to read to my boy. All the books I can think of are a little too old for him. The only other one I can think of is Little House on the Prairie series. Keep in mind: I don't want to give him nightmares. :P

Any suggestions?

Camilla is right about Roald Dahl although he can get a bit grisly in places for young ones, I was also raised on Wizard of Oz as Missa suggests and I would add The Borrowers. My mom read us these and Little House like you said and we liked all of them.

I wouldn't have thought so. Rebekah - 21/10/2010 03:47:06 PM 876 Views
Okay then. I thought the first one would give nightmares as a bedtime story though. Bergioyn - 21/10/2010 03:54:05 PM 864 Views
