My kid is 5 and has a long attention span for being read to. Some of the best ones are; Frog and Toad; Brambly Hedge; Mouse and the Motorcycle.
My kid is sensitive. We can’t get into anything too intense or scary (Roald Dahl). But most of these books for young readers are formulaic dreck. (I’m looking at you, Magic Treehouse).
Suggest me something I’ll actually enjoy reading?

*My Father’s Dragon* by Ruth Stiles Gannett. There are 3 books in the series, and they are wonderfully clever.
I was a very sensitive child, but I really enjoyed Amelia Bedelia, the Bailey School Kids (also very formulaic, but at least a different option to mix in) and the Wayside School books.
Junie B Jones series, Beverly Cleary books like Ramona the Pest
