Dd (age 5) loves being read to, and I have been reading her short chapter books (as well as books from her picture book collection) for a while now.
However I'd really appreciate recommendations of books that have no scary or people-being-mean-to-each-other content.
She has particularly enjoyed Little Nose (that was as scary as she can manage ), Ursula Bear series, Animal Ark, Rainbow Faries, which we're all tired of now thank god.
Her favourite all time book is "How Green Was My Mouse" by Dick King-Smith. This seems like the perfect story for her, all happy, with the couple getting married and having a baby at the end (which makes her grin and sigh like your wouldn't believe)!
I'm getting more of these short chapter books by Dick King-Smith, but just wondered if any of you had any other recommendations, that follow a similar vein, sort of happy real life stories?
Many thanks in advance
