50 BOOKS FOR 5-7 YEAR OLDS

We are a couple of days into the main August Summer holiday with at least 40+ days still to enjoy. I trust no one is bored yet!

Books are one way to ensure we do all enjoy the holiday to the fullest. On Thursday I gave a list of 55 Picture Book titles that should keep you and your children entertained and inspired for a few minutes each day.

Today it is the turn of the older children. The 5-7 year old bracket who have probably started to read for themselves and in any case prefer chapter books.

The list is not just holiday and beach stories and I’ve avoided classic and over popular books. They are for a special list another day.
