you could try other books by dahl (my favorite growing up was the witches, but also the bgf is good). One of my favorites also was the cat who came in off the roof by annie schmidt. if you want to go more into classics then i guess alice's adventures in woderland and the wonderful wizard of oz are really good.
Ibwas thinking of Alice in Wonderland. I was trying to remember how old I was when I read it. Probably older than 6 but I'm sure there are some good abridged for younger readers.
I'd recommend for a kid that small Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien, the movie made a few changes and the visuals are maybe a little scary for a kid under 8 but the book should be okay. It's about a little mouse who isn't able to move her tiny house when their field is about to be plowed because her son is sick and goes in search of help, a very nice story about the power of kindness. The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, it's an oldie and a goodie, I think my little sister was about that age when I started reading it to her, the first five in particular are very good.
Does he like the Caption Underpants books?
My kid loved the Cam Jansen series. Amelia Bedelia series is funny and wholesome.
My son loved the Goosebumps series but those books are for older children aged 8 and up and might keep him awake! A real sweet story which you might know is - I Love You to the Moon and Back
My son used to love the Big Nate Novels when he was in elementary school. https://www.harpercollins.com/collect...
Or if that is too soppy you can never go wrong with a story involving a dinosaur. One choice could be - The Dinosaur Next Door
Ronald Dahl, Robert Munch, Terry Pratchett are always a good go to
I have fond memories of Winnie the Pooh.
Fantastic mr foxMatilda
Percy Jackson when he’s older
Nancy drew
Anne of green gables (I feel this and Nancy drew are good for any gender)
Teddy Robinson
The complete adventures of Winnie the Pooh (I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called)
A wrinkle in time
A little princess
The boxcar children (amazing)
the penderwick are really good books for children
The Borrowers series those are perfect for reading aloud. The Wind In The Willows. Would also be good.
Magic Tree House, Jack & Annie have time travel adventures from their tree house. Mercy Watson is really fun.
The Faraway Tree books by Enid Blyton.
Hey!If you’re looking for something truly fun and different, I’d love to recommend my book: Tales of Habib the Hoaxter: Sometimes Hoaxed, Always Good for a Laugh
Come see the world anew through Habib’s clever, innocent eyes. This collection of very short, very funny stories is full of unexpected twists and punchlines that will leave you laughing out loud.
These modern fables whisk you away to a timeless, magical world where marvels abound and quick wit is the real superpower. Whether you’re an adult or a child, you’ll find something to enjoy.
Perfect for a break from the ordinary, step into “one day,” where every tale is a doorway to wonder, and you’ll return to your everyday life seeing it a little differently.

We've had The Twits and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Both of those have gone down well.
Trying to think of what to read next and of course, my mind has gone blank!
Thought I'd put the question to the Goodreads hivemind. No specific criteria, other than being age appropriate.
