My boy has recently got his head round reading to the extent that he’s happy to disappear off and put his head in a book. Mostly though it tends to be non-fiction, reference books about dinosaurs or machines or something. Whilst a bit of me is bursting with pride at my mini-geek, he’d probably be a bit more rounded as an individual if he read some narrative from time to time!
He’s quite happy to have Roald Dahl, David Walliams etc read to him, but doesn’t seem to want to read on by himself. As a kid, I remember getting a book called “50 short adventure and war stories for boys” or something along those lines. Is there a modern equivalent that anyone could recommend?
