What are some good books for an almost 6yr old boy?

Answer 1

It depends on his reading skills and of course his interests. Captain Underpants is very popular with the 6-8 year old boys. Anything involving spiderman, batman, superman, fantastic 4 are popular.

If you are planning on purchasing a book for this boy, I would recommend either buying him a gift certificate, or taking him to the bookstore with you and letting him pick something on his own. The reading skills between the ages of 5-8 can be so diverse that you don't want to embarass him and get him something that's either too easy or too difficult.

Answer 2

Is there some big change in his life? Before you get too frustrated take a step back and look at what is going on. When children have big changes they sometimes regress to an earlier stage. I assume that he didn't use to whine. He might also be getting his 6 year molars. Some people have different tolerances to pain. I do think that you are doing the right thing by not feeding into it. It will probably take a little longer for him to stop since he was be comforted(positive reinforcement) in the beginning. It will probably go away after he learns it doesn't work, but I would keep my eyes open for anything that may be stressing him that he may not be able to cope with just in case.

Answer 3

There's still nothing wrong with the old fairy tales and folk tales from various countries - they are timeless for children of that age -

Of course many modern authors are fine too before they get older and teachers and librarians try to prematurely push "issues" books onto them - let them enjoy the magic of childhood and use their own imaginations for as long as possible - mind you some of the Fairy Tales can be pretty gruesome but many (not all by all means) boys (and some girls too if I am anything to go by as a child) like that!
Best wishes,
