DS4 (5 in Feb) is reading easy chapter books. His reading level is probably high end of 3rd grade, maybe higher, but he loses interest in complex plots, things with a lot of blah blah blah, and themes above his age level. At this stage in her reading development, DD snarfed up those Rainbow Fairy books, but he's not interested. Suggestions other than Magic Treehouse (he's slightly mixed on those) and Magic Schoolbus chapters (he loves these, but he's read most of the ones at our library)? He recently has been reading the Ivy and Bean series as well, if that helps.

My son loves George Brown Class Clown. I also second Geronimo Stilton. You can also look at Fudge books by Judy Blume.

It's not a series, exactly, but there are two are three: Sideways Stories from Wayside School. There's an overall plot, sort of, but each chapter is an individual story about an individual person in the classroom. The reading level is a little high or a little low, depending on what measure you use ( http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/book/sideways-stories-wayside-school), but my four year-old has been enjoying them. He doesn't exactly read a whole chapter at a time independently (hello, attention span), but we'll go back and forth by paragraph, or he'll just sort of pick it up and start reading at random. The way the chapters are organized around characters make it easy to just read at random.

Mine liked Time Warp Trio and the Stink books (Judy Moody's little brother).

Definitely Horrid Henry, I'm afraid. And the original Thomas the Tank Engine stories if those are not old hat.

Ultra, our bridge to chapter books was comic books. DS6 started with used copies of children's comics (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck) found at Half Price Books. Then Sonic the Hedgehog ("Archives" series, cheap at Amazon). Now he's reading the omnibus volumes of Asterix, which are large, every chance he gets, and he's less afraid to tackle a big book. Somewhere between Sonic and Asterix he dug into the Magic Tree House ones on his own. We will continue with comics and regular reading in parallel (Tintin is on my agenda, but so is The Trumpet of the Swan).
