My 4 year old loves 'Thomas The Tank Engine' books (he's got 40 of them now at £2.50 a go) Topsy and Tim and anything to do with dinosaurs. How about your child?

The far away tree. total class. every child loves the fact of fairy tales and sweetness. And why not? life is full of crap and to have a story so involved that is fairies, myth, and sweetness, why not? it is beautiful for parents and children alike. Wonderful.

My son is six, and STILL loves Thomas the Tank Engine (so you have a good investment there). He's finally starting to branch out some. Charlotte's Web went over well (a couple chapters at bedtime). Fox in Sox (Dr. Seuss) was also a hit. A good method is to expand on the "things that go" (i.e. cars, airplanes). That opens the door for different things.

The children in my 2nd grade class love Chris Van Allsburg books. But it's because I love him and I work very hard to make 22 new little VanAllsburg fans every year.

And for Chapter books--Roald Dahl...I start out the beginning of every year reading them the BFG or the Witches. Then for more realistic fiction who can go wrong with Because of Winn-Dixie and Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key? No matter which other books I throw in for good measure, those are the favorites.

"There's a Monster at the End of This Book" (Grover from Sesame Street. and its sequel "There's Another Monster at the End of THis Book"

There's a few, all with the same basic concept -- "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, If you Give a Pig a Pancake" -- I think they're pretty cute

For a little bit older - (5th grade or so)

My son is 6½ and he likes quite a wide (age) range of books. He still loves the 'Mr Men' and the 'Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs' sets of books together with 'gruffalo' type books like 'Room on the Broom'. He also loves the 'Famous Five' and 'Secret Seven' books and 'Harry Potter'. I've also started reading him the ladybird versions of some of the classics like Treasure Island and he likes those too.

If he is only four then you are still in time for "Owl Babies" by Martin Waddell and also "Peepbo" which is an Alan Ahlberg. Currently my 9 year old is reading 9 Lives of Montezuma by Michael Morpurgo, my 11 year old is reading anything scary and my 15 year old is reading "Be in the Place" by Helen Hobden which is a novel about the Glastonbury festival (which she attended with her Dad when she was 13). Good for you to be into reading with your little boy - it's a wonderful gift to give to him :0)

PS to Jude - I bought Goodbye Mog and couldn't give it to my kids because it makes me weep my heart out! I never read anything so sad and so lovely.

My daughter is 12 and she's into most any type of fantasy books: Harry Potter, Eragon and Eldest, Inkheart, Inkspell. Put a dragon or fairy on the cover and she'll most likely read it. She spent $20 of her own money to buy a "Dragonology" book a couple years ago, and now she also has "Wizardology" and "Fairyopolis" . And she's even been raiding MY bookshelves lately. lol
