    I’m thinking of starting to read my 6yo some classic books, a few chapters each night. Have reviewed a bunch on Common Sense Media and am thinking I’ll go with The Jungle Book.

    A bit newer, but I’m thinking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory may be next.

      As a kid, I absolutely loved Roal Dahl!

        We tried the BFG but that had some stuff that was a little scary, plus we lost the book before we managed to finish it. I’m hoping this one has less man-eating giants.

          I distinctly remember reading “witches”, and getting a bit shaken by the ending, just as a heads up

            Thanks for the heads up! Normally I check out common sense media, they recommend ages 9+ for The Witches and mention that it can be pretty scary. I think we will avoid it for quite a while.

              I didn’t know about Common sense media, nice initiative!
