Book Club

Can anyone give me some suggestions for books I could buy for a seven yearold boy who is in first grade. He is reading well at a second grade level. He had a pretty thick book with no pictures today.

Find out what his interests are and then go from there - that always worked best for my kids.

I agree - find out what he's interested in and buy books based on those things and then branch out.

You can also use the Scholastic Book Wizard. I've pre-filtered to grades 1-2.5, but you can adjust as needed.

My son used to love Magic Tree House books.

He loves cats and kittens. I found s series called the curious cats spy club. Anyone heard of these. I agree about finding books on stuff that interest him.

geronimo stilton.....it is a great book series that my kids loved. start from #1 and you can add to his collection.

right now there are 62 regular books and a number of special editions, including two christmas books.

In the series, the title character is a talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. A best-selling author, Geronimo Stilton[2] works as a journalist and editor for the fictional newspaper The Rodent's Gazette.

He has a younger sister named Thea Stilton,[3] a cousin named Trap Stilton,[3] and a favorite little nephew, nine-year-old Benjamin Stilton.[3] Geronimo is a nervous, mild-mannered mouse who would like nothing better than to live a quiet life, but he keeps getting involved in far-away adventures with Thea, Trap, and Benjamin, and sometimes Aunt Sweetfur. The books are written as though they are autobiographical adventure stories.

My grandsons have always liked "Where The Wild Things Are."

The Classic children's books never fail.  I loved the Boxcar Children set as a child and my son did as well.  Then when he got older he fell in love with the Hardy Boys.
