Top Secret is wonderful. DS started it at 5, you might need to help depending on DSs skills with a pencil and logic. The only complaint is the approach doesn't really vary - they have a set number of puzzle games they do and after 12 of these, it's. Little repetitive. We might actually stop it now and replace with something else. But it was so good DS made up his own pretend investigations around it! Also great for the plane - and whoever writes their villain cards makes hilarious puns!

Stack the states is fun too.

Depending on reading level I also recommend horrible geographies and the most fantastic atlas in the world by the brainwaves. My science DS loves all horrible sciences and all brainwave books. Also the basher books. DK encyclopedias are awesome - and their popups space and how things works, are much better science than you would think for a popup. Also great advanced picture books - ms frizzle goes to china, Egypt, ancient Greece, etc. and one I a, blanking on right now where 3 siblings walk into a shop and get a magic book which takes them places - ill see if I can find it! - that was easy - good times travel agency - adventures in ancient china, ice age, etc
