I've been trying to remember what I read in elementary school, in addition to the books already mentioned.
I don't remember what reading level all of these books were, or how age-appropriate they would be for a six-year old, as I was older than that when I read them, and it's been a few decades....
The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder - her "Farmer Boy" might appeal more to a boy. (Warning for easily scared kids - I had nightmares after reading Little House in the Big Woods when Pa tells the story of Grandpa being chased by a panther.)
The Adventure series by Enid Blyton
The Happy Hollisters - Jerry West
The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett
Beverly Cleary - various books
The Danny Dunn series - Jay Williams and Raymond Abrashkin
Pippi Longstocking - Astrid Lindgren
