Book recommendations for 5 year old who loves to read!

Question

Hi, my son is an avid reader and has been for some time (to my delight - I was the same at that age).

We’ve moved from story books to Tintin comics (Asterix was a little over his head) and I was thinking to make the transition to proper chapter books for our bedtimes. I already have a number of Roald Dahl books to try out and my sister’s boy loves the Wimpy Kid series so am going to give them a go too but wondered what other books/authors to try, they need to capture his imagination if there are less pictures.

Look forward to some suggestions

Reading to your kids is a pleasure and also helps them to develop their horizon. I suggest to purchase used books, to save money, and you can easily use https://bookscouter.com/rental where it is possible to rent textbooks. It is a pretty decent solution if you want to look for books online and also they are having affordable prices. I recommend it for parents and students as well.

Answer 3

Super. Thank you all for such good advice. I want to find a good book to keep my kid busy while I'm busy looking for dnp capstone project writers and can't devote enough time to him. I think a good book should grab my son's attention so I can have time to fix my academic problems in college.
