[quote=Anonymous]Some of these are older, but I recommend: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle (this is fabulous for a first grader, please try it) Gail Carson Levine’s Princess Tales (newer, clever, funny, non-stereotypical adaptations) Flat Stanley (newer, silly) Boxcar Children Pippi Longstocking Encyclopedia Brown Frindle (newer) The Wolves of Willoughby Chase (may be intense for a first grader) The Secrets of Droon (newer - the Special Editions may be too intense for a first grader) Time Warp Trio (newer - similar to Magic Tree House) American Girl books? - if she likes history, she might like these, but my kids read them on their own, so I don’t know how intense they might be The Quiltmaker’s Gift by Jeff Brumbeau (picture book, but a lot of text, charming story, incredible illustrations) Where the Sidewlk Ends by Shel Silverstein (quirky poetry) Just-So Stories by Kipling - get an illustrated version (the prose is very dense, but beautiful) [/quote]
