Stories for 6 year olds



We have just had the school holidays and over that time I have been able to explore and read new books with my 6 year old boy. here are some of the ones Samuel has particularly enjoyed.

Zac power [mission series] by H.I. Larry. These are great stories about a secret agent [Zac Power] who works for the Government Investigation Bureau and generally has 24 hours to save the world....... and go to the dentist! A simpler series in the Zac Power collection is the Test Drive series. A 6 year old would be more able to read these himself.
Akimbo and the crocodile man by Alexander McCall-Smith.
Five books make up this series of adventures. Akimbo, the son of a ranger has many experiences helping others with the wild African animals. The stories are gentle but at the same time engaging and quite a change from the fast paced 'fighting' stories.

Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown.
This was the first time reading 'Flat Stanley' and I am not so sure what Samuel's thoughts on the book are but I quite enjoyed it. Stanley became flat when a wardrobe fell on him. Surprisingly, his family accepts this rather well and discovered they can inflate him again using a bicycle pump. The books take you through the adventures Stanley has being flat. A different idea but good fun.

Battle boy- Aztec attack by Charlie Carter & Secret agent Jack Stalwart by Elizabeth Singer Hunt.
These books are variations on a theme: detectives travelling the world saving others from the 'baddies'. They are engaging for 6 year olds and incorporate history and facts relating to the story setting. A good way of learning facts whilst having fun reading a story.
