[quote=Anonymous]I disagree with those recommending Magic Tree House and Dragon Masters. They are meant to be read by the kids and make for crappy read alouds. There is a lot of unnecessary repetition that gets tedious when reading aloud. (“My name is Jack,” said Jack. “My name is Annie, said Annie”. “Hi Jack. Hi Annie,” said Teddy.) Better to save them for when the kids are ready to start reading chapter books by themselves or out loud to you. Also, they are often rather boring, in terms of plot and lack of humor. Of the books on that level, I will say that the Last Firehawk books are the most interesting, although again, if you can find something else that will keep your interest, I would save them for an early reader. Mr. Poppers Penguins is a good one we did at that age. Ramona the Pest also. One of my kids liked Harry Potter 1 at that age but got too scared by number two. [/quote]
