[quote=Anonymous]NP again. I'm not sure why your think your preschooler needs to be reading chapter books? Is it just that YOU want to read her chapter books? Because I really do think she'd get a lot more out of story books - there are so many with beautiful language and illustration that I enjoy. And the shorter books are much easier for little ones to understand and they love things in verse or that rhyme and it's fun to read out loud, too.

Brightly and Scholastic usually have great lists. Some of my five year old's favorites are that I also like:

The Questioneers story book series (Rosie Revere Engineer, Ada Twist Scientist, Iggy Peck Architect). NOT the chapter books, but my older child loves those.

Jabari Jumps (there's more Jabari books that we haven't raed)
Julian is a Mermaid
The Proudest Blue
The Day the Crayons Quit (and sequels)
The Bad Seed/Good Egg series (although the newer ones aren't as good)
The Paper Bag Princess
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No Good Day (because what kid doesn't love that book??)

And then the kind of dumb-ish books like Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious, Never Let a Unicorn.... series, How to Catch a... series.

You have to remember this is for your child, not you.
