- The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis what can I say? A classic must-read.
- Dolphin Adventure by Wayne Grover A true story of how a family of dolphins sought a man's help to save their baby's life.
- My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett A fun and silly adventure story.
- James Harriot's Treasury for Children by James Harriot True stories from Dr. Harriot's life as a veterinarian
- The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting We just finished this one. What a fun adventure story! And here's an interesting piece of trivia: Mr. Lofting wrote these stories when he was lieutenant in WWI. He was writing letters to his children, & knew that news from the front wasn't appropriate for them, so his letters became the story of Doctor Dolittle.
- In Grandma's Attic by Arleta Richardson True stories stories from a grandmother's childhood.

Are you using Sonlight? Because they introduced me to the titles you listed and are some of our favorites too! Others are The Chronicles of Narnia series which my 8 year old son has loved hearing aloud since he was 3. The Jungle Book which has great language! We're currently enjoying The Year of the Boar, but my 8 year old likes it more than my 5 year old. It's really well written.
oh, yes... we use sonlight. :)
It's interesting that you started the Narnia series so young. I've wanted to read it to my kids, but i thought i should wait a few more years... what do you think?
I say go for it! The chapters are not too long. Get into character with a proper British accent and much enthusiasm and they'll love it! It helps to do it as a bedtime cuddle up story since they have no where to go :)
