James and the Giant Peach was a big hit for my kids at those ages.

Harry Potter 1-3.
The Roald Dahl books. Matilda & the BFG are good intros.

I had no idea he wrote babe! We just read “Pigs might fly” by him with my just turned 6 year old. It was a little realistic (based on a farm and all that entails), but the story was sweet.


King-Smith’s Lady Lollipop is also really good.

I love so many of these suggestions. I've been reading my K'er all of the EB White novels. I think our favorite so far is The Trumpet of the Swan. Probably more challenging for kid to read to themselves though.

My kids are younger (almost 4 and almost 6) but I’ve been reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books to them and they love them. Also, re: Magic Treehouse, they both looooove listening to them on Audible.
