Chapter Books for Young Children

Let me tell you all, I was THRILLED with your responses to my questions about Books to read to Henry!  Some of you had great suggestions, and I can't wait for our next trip to the library so we can pick up a few of these books.  Some of the titles you mentioned I had thought of, but worried they were too old for him.  Knowing that your children around his age enjoyed them will make me a little braver with picking slightly more challenging books.

Some of you also mentioned you were excited to see the comments and suggestions for your own children, so I figured I would compile a list of early chapter books for four / five/ six/ seven year olds.  At any point you all can leave a comment here* or email me at biogirl79 at gmail dot com and I will add them to the list!**

• Mercy Watson+
• Three Tales of my Father's Dragon
• Mrs Piggle Wiggle
• the Magic Treehouse books
• the Little House on the Prairie books

• Winnie the Pooh
• Homer Price
• Melvin Beederman, Superhero+
• "All About Sam" by Lois Lowry

• Henry and Mudge+ (3 chapter, easier readers)

Some of these series may be more suited for kids who are a little older than four, but this is a great list of Chapter books to read with your kids!  People also suggested checking out the website whatdowedoallday.com
 and scholastic for other ideas.


*Commenting... I hear it's annoying for some of you.  I am truly not sure what to do about it beyond switching the blog to Wordpress.  It's something I might consider, but not now... as much as I love your comments I am just a little too overwhelmed with life right now to make some major terrifying blogging change.

**  I mean... I might.  I have had big exceptions before (ex: Kindle Library Book List) which I promptly forgot about... but this time I REALLY am going to try!

***I will eventually (maybe) add links to all these books on Amazon.  For now, you must google. because my lunch break is over.

+We have read to Henry and recommend
