How have some favorite authors had time to write entirely new series?!? Love this list!

We read some of the series on this list, and now I loaded up on your earlier recommendations and can't wait to see which ones Anna likes best.

Thanks for the list, my kids aren't reading yet, but I know that we will be visiting it again once they are. I love the theme too!

We read lots of the books you recommend and love almost all of them - I never get around to telling you though, sorry! Tonight we read '8 class pets + 1 squirrel etc' Had both boys HOWLING with laughter at the jokes - my 6 year old even picked up some of the subtleties of the different points of view of the animals ("the fish think that being in the water is normal and being in the air is weird but the other animals think the opposite because normal just depends on what you are used to")

Thanks, Jenny. Sometimes I'm the only mom who has to say "put that book down so we can go!" He never wants to put a book down until he has read the whole thing.

Claire still doesn't read a chapter book cover to cover, so I love lists like this so I have lots of options to tempt her with. I keep meaning to blog about a book so I can link up here, and somehow I keep forgetting...

And my daughter won't even pick up a Magic Treehouse book, which is fine with me.

It sounds like Appleville will work well for him. Be sure to tell me if he likes it! I always wonder if people try out and enjoy the books I share.

Yup - the sillier the better! He's 6 but not a very advanced reader (although very keen) so I don't think the Appleville series will be too easy. He's reading the Roscoe Riley books at the moment (another one of your recommendations!) and he can just manage them. He hasn't read any of the other ones you recommend so I will get them for him - I still do lots of reading aloud to him so if they are too advanced it won't matter.

Depending on your son's age Appleville might be too easy, but the Zigzag kids and Polk Street series are also set in schools so those might be good choices. Has he ever read the Wayside School series? Maybe those are still too advanced for him, but they would make really great read alouds since from your previous comments I take it he likes silly stuff.
