| My 5 year old is starting to be interested in chapter books, but she still gets frustrated when given something like Ramona. Is there sometime easy you'd suggest, a little more advanced than frog/toad, easy readers, etc. but not quite at the level of Ramona? |

| What does she like to read? The magic treehouse series is great for a beginner reader (I personally found them agonizingly dull to read out loud, though). |

I assume this is for you to read to her?
Some of our favorites have been Lulu and the Brontosaurus and My Father's Dragon. |

| This is for her to read to herself. For some reason, magic treehouse scares her (not sure why, this is kid that won't watch Disney either, but jumps into 8 ft water no issues) - anything super gentle at that reading level you know of ? |

Junie B. Jones (although many parents don't like the book because Junie B. is a brat and talks ungrammatically)

| Nate the Great and Young Cam Jansen. My daughter loved both of those series. |

I loved her. Some parents don't like her because she is not perfect and politically correct and her grammar is typical of a K student, not a scholar. But my daughter could relate so well. The problem is, she loved when I read those books because she said "You make Junie B funny mom!" So alas, that was never a read alone book.
