Another writer who has some good stories for a little bit older child is Roald Dahl. His "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" and "Charlie & the great glass elevator" are well remembered reads from my youth. The 1971 movie with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka was good but the original text is even wilder as far as some of the adventures that happen. He also wrote "James and the Giant Peach" "The Big Friendly Giant" and "Matilda" among others. Judy Blume's "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and "Superfudge" are good too, as is Robert McCloskey's "Homer Price."
