I have been reading the Boxcar children series to my almost 5 year old son and he loves them. I also loved these books when I was young.

Thanks for posting about this and for all those who offered suggestions–I also now have a long list of book ideas for future reading time.

Yeah! Even more great books. My list is getting long. Thanks again everyone.

And Suite - you are hilarious with Junie B Jones and your therapy. She is a funny character, just like you!

I found your site through a friend and love to see what is going on. I really loved this addition because I too love to read chapter books with my kids. I always start with the classic Little house on the Prairie series. My boys love it and I know my daughters will when they are a little bigger! We also have loved Indian in the Cub, and Mouse and the Motor Cycle! But I look forward to trying out some of these others that are newer! Thanks for the ideas!

I love reading Stink Moody to my son (5), the books feature Stink Moody (Judy Moody’s younger brother). Too cute and a great introduction into chapter books.

Holt!
I started reading this post and got to “Junie B. Jones” and had to leave you a comment because SHE IS MY FAVE!!!

And not from when I was younger… Cicely and I love the Junie B. I had a therapist tell me years ago that I needed to read Junie B. to get a vision of how adults saw me as a child… and it was soooooo therapeutic. Seriously.

So I have the whole friggin’ collection:
*Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Valentime
*Junie B. Jones is a Barbershop Guy
and
*Junie B. Jones has a Peep in her pocket

are my top three…

Read em and WEEP!!! You will be laughing so hard you will be crying… Cicely and I do, every time we enjoy the delicious caramel goodness of a Barbara Parks book.

The Mercy Watson series are very short chapter books with plenty of pictures. Good for transition into full-on chapter books.
