np We've been reading these, too. Skip Farmer Boy as it's boring as hell and doesn't relate to the rest of the books. [ Reply | More

np: but a boy might love Farmer Boy. My 5 y.o. DS did. For OP: by that age we were well into reading longer books (my reading to him). DS's favorites: anything by Roald Dahl but especially James & the Giant Peach, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Toys Go Out, E.B. White's books, Catwings, Pippi Longstocking, Finn Family Moomintroll, Mr. Popper's Penguins, most of the Little House Books. [ Reply | More

My dd loved Mouse House by Rumer Godden, which has a picture on every page and a lot of text also. You might look at Beatrix Potter books--they have rich text and lovely pictures. [ Reply | More

Even if it is a short book you can read it slowly. Take time to talk about the pictures, ask questions, etc. If you slow down it will help your child connect the text to the image. [ Reply | More
