We read a lot of books to our kids, but they are often the one-shot type of books that have some kind of story, but not much. Do any of you have a suggestion on any books out there that have more of a story or series of books that I can read to my 6 year old? I want to get him more into stories and not just pretty pictures with minimal plot. Is there a series geared toward 6-year olds?

Do they still make the Matt Christopher sports books? I started reading those when I was about that age I think.Originally posted by UteStar View Post*Banned* -
The Boxcar Kids series is a good place to start.Originally posted by UteStar View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Is that too young for Encyclopedia Brown? Is that series still around? Man, I loved that stuff as a child.Originally posted by UteStar View PostVisca Catalunya LliureComment

Magic Treehouse. My son and all his friends got really into reading through these books. Time travelling kids to a lot of different cool historical events.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Encyclopedia Brown is another good series. I loved it as a kid as well, though I had to wait for him to solve the mystery, as I wasn't smart enough to do it myself.Originally posted by Tim View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Old Choose Your Own Adventure works well for the kids. They can't read, but they can make the decisions. Our 3 dig it.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

My son also loves these. He also likes Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants series and Ricky Ricotta.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostWhat's to explain?

It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Also good are books by Roald Dahl like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the BFG and James and the Giant Peach.What's to explain?

You can find them at most libraries. Also, you get several re-reads out of one book.Originally posted by marsupial View Post
And the more you ham up the choices, the more excited they get...."Are you SURE you want to pick up the sword? What might happen if you do?" stuff like that.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Captain Underpants is a great series. It's some of the funniest stuff out there too."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill
