Looking for book recommendations that suit 8-12 years reading level, but suits a 5 year old in terms of emotional maturity and themes.
(For a 5yr old who has very advanced reading skills but is very sensitive and otherwise developmentally at 5yrs old). Occasional illustrations are nice but not necessary.
Book series that have been a success:
- Pokemon chapter books
- Toto The Ninja Cat by Dermot O’Leary
- Murray and Bun by Adam Stower
- Rabbit & Bear by Julian Gough
- Hot Dog by Anh Do
- Sophie Mouse by Poppy Green
- Hotel Flamingo by Alex Milway
- How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell
- Some Dr Seuss books
Books that were enjoyed once but not enough to re-read:
- Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey
- The 13-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton
Books on the shelf that we will try soon:
- The BFG by Roald Dahl
- Animal Ark series (reading with an adult at bedtime because of sensitive themes)
Books that weren’t a success:
- The Boy Who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd (themes were a bit too mature for preschooler)
- Ninja Kid by Anh Do (as above)
- The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton (got bored, didn’t finish book)
Thank you in advance!
