[quote=Anonymous]At that age my kid LOVED the Redwall books, about animals living in an old English Abbey, and fighting off other animals. Every species gets their own culture, accents and turns of speech, it's fascinating. An old series, but so good.

She also liked the Chronicles of Narnia (the movies are great), the Chronicles of Prydain, the Hobbit, stuff like that. She discovered Wings of Fire later and loved them too. She didn't really love Harry Potter, but did read all of them because her brother was very much into them. What else? She loved Watership Down (a political allegory transposed to the rabbit world), which interestingly isn't a children's book, but she loves animals, so...

She read His Dark Materials at around that time, but may have been too young to understand the multiple layers of that wonderful series, which is great for adults too. She was intrigued by the plot, though, and liked it well enough. The first book is the Golden Compass, made into a TV series.
