My non-reader DS loves Babymouse books (and he's so boy-ish I was surprised he liked a pink book....sad, but true). There's a new series by the same authors called Squish (about an amoeba).

Also loved Nate the Great and Bad Kitty books....pictures are a big draw, apparently!

so we popped along to the book store today - went to 3 separate ones. All these books have to be ordered in and will take 6 - 9 weeks to get here. Gonna order them online rather. In the meantime he found some DK readers on star wars and others on rise of the guardians and a Horrid Henry book, which he says he wants to try again (he has 2 others that have not been read yet)

DS5 has become obsessed with the Spiderwick Chronicles. I think because the pages are small, with some illustrations, he has been happy to read them (and re-read). He got stuck on Zac Power books for a while - not exciting literary reads but boys adventure stories. I can't bag them out too much because they turned him into a 'read chapter books without many pictures by himself' boy.

I will add Zac Powers to the list to try find here then too thanks bobbie!

Well that's mean. My father's dragon in kindle is not available to me because of my location.

Where are you based Puffin?

New Zealand. I went to the link given in the thread and it said not available in asia and the pacific

Ok. I can get a kindle version called "three tales of my fathers dragon" which seems to be an anniversary compilation. I will get a sample for that. Thanks.

hehe - we enjoyed beating you at cricket recently (OT I know....)

Do you know the online store The Book Depository? They ship free anywhere in the world.

I wish they carried used as well as new books, and their selection and prices are sometimes kind of eccentric, but it's a good way to get books not available locally, or ship them to people who are far away from me...
