[quote=Anonymous]I’n not sure of your son’s reading level.  These are mostly chapter books, but I’ve added some picture books as well.

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing he would consider scary in these:

Jez Alborough books (especially the ducks)
Golly Sisters series
Amelia Bedelia series
Nate the Great series
McBroom series by Sid Fleischman 
Kate Klise - Regarding the. . . series
Frindle
The Quiltmaker’s Gift
Beverly Cleary
Danny Dunn series
Flat Stanley series
How to Eat Fried Worms
Magic School Bus picture books/chapter books
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle series
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Just-So stories

Books that I think are minimally scary even for a sensitive child.  I’d generally consider them non-scary:

Seymour Sleuth - (2 books) by Doug Cushman
Princess in Black series 
Encyclopedia Brown/Einstein Anderson series
Wayside School series
The Littles series
The Borrowers series
Pippi Longstocking series
Cam Jansen series
My Father’s Dragon series
Ben and Me
Princess Tales series by Gail Carson Levine (despite the name, they’re not all girly - ex. Cinderellis and the Glass Hill)
Secrets of Droon series (the Special Editions may be more scary, you may want to skip those or read together)
Magic Treehouse series
Bunnicula
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
Where the Sidewalk-Ends (quirky poetry)
