Feeling Overwhelmed Providing My 7 Year Old With Books
«

I know it's a good complaint to have but my 7 year old reads a lot and very rapidly. She was reading phonetically at about 22 months and has been actively reading chapter books since the age of 5. She's gone through a lot of the Boxcar Children books, American Girl, Animal Ark, Pony Pals, Puppy Place, Andrew Lost, Bobbsey Twins, Little House on the Prairie series, Nancy Drew, The Famous Five, Ron Roy books, Jigsaw Jones, Cam Jansen and Beverly Cleary. She's also read a lot of the kid-friendly classics like The Secret Garden. She doesn't really care for nonfiction, so I read that to her. I can only afford to buy so many books, so I'm largely dependent on the library. She reads so fast, most chapter books are finished in 30 to 90 minutes. She's already re-reading a lot of her books. Can anyone recommend other book series we may be missing that would likely be found at the library?

Is she too young for the Baby Sitters Club? I know there are well over 100 in the series and I loved them when I was a kid.

I'd forgotten about Baby Sitters Club. I just got a sample for the Kindle to see if she's ready. She wasn't ready for the Saddle Club books even though she loves the show.

Ah! I remember those days fondly...it sounds like she is reading many of the same books that I did at that age.
Have you come across the Trixie Beldon books? they were some of my favorites at that age. Somewhat similar to Nancy Drew style, but Trixie is more of a freckle-faced tomboy. I think there are actually 39 of them, they are quite fun and much more wholesome than today's series! I think many libraries have them as well.
I found just this quick preview with a bit of information:

I will check back over some of my faves from childhood!

Kerileanne99,
Thanks for the suggestion. My daughter loves mysteries. I'd never heard of Trixie Beldon. I just checked the library catalog and they have 7 of them.

Rainbow fairies series (more than 100 in the series)
Surely you have already read " the Magic Tree House" series? If not put those top of the list. There are lots (60+) of them and they are easy non fiction/ fiction stories.
Have you started on Roald Dahl? James and the giant Peach is a good starter. Then BFG.
The babysitters club has an easier level called " the babysitters little sisters club" ( I think?) they are pretty good too.
Junie B Jones books, we have about 6 there may be more.
Judy Moody she would like too.
My girls like Goosbumps ( of which there are hundreds!) and geranamo Stilton. There are heaps of those too.
My kids love reading through an entire series too. Often at a speed faster than either I or the library can get ahold of them.
Our all time favourite isn't on your list. We absolutely love " the Faraway tree" " the Enchanted Woods" " The Folk of The Faraway Tree" and "the Wishing Chair" all are available with colour pictures! Which I highly recommend.
There is a fairly new book out called " the 27 story tree house" ( ok I can't be sure it is '27' stories?) there are 2 of them and they are very popular here. Havnt read them yet.
Have you given her any of the Usbournes classics for children books? My girls really liked those, even though I still make them read the original versions for extending comprehension.

I am still absolutely miffed at how hard it is to get the Magic Faraway Tree Series. Or anything by Enid Blyton in the US.

Thank you! Free shipping helps. Last time I looked on amazon the Magic Tree House books were $30-$60. It was one of my favourite series as a kid.

Most of my favorites have already been listed (I love Trixie Beldon too!). Nobody mentioned The Chronicles of Narnia, The Prydian Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander, or Alice in Wonderland, so I'll throw those classics out there. Our oldest is named for Peter the high king, so we're big Narnia fans at our house.

That is a nice list, Sonya. Thanks.
I also liked Trixie Beldon as a child.
Reflecting on what I read as a child, a lot of the books mentioned here, I wish someone had guided my reading more. There is so much great stuff to read and there is so much garbage to read. I have been guiding my kids' reading more and have been pleased with their own interest in good literature. There are all the classics and series to choose from. What about The Lord of the Rings series? I really like the Elsie Dinsmore series. There were penned in the 1800's and there are about 26 in the series. I am not sure if you can get them at your library. They have a Christian theme and really shaped many of my ideas on how to teach my children based on how they learned in the books.
Right now I have a bunch of library books that we are reading or want to read. Here they are.
The STory of Mankind
Celtic Fairy Tales
The Golden Fleece
Tales of the Greek Heroes
Stories from a Ming Collection
Classic Myths to Read Aloud
Sinbad the Sailor
Celtic Myths
Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths
The Children's Homer
Aesop's Fables
Stories From the Arabian Nights
The Adventures Of Tintin (My kids love these) There are over 20 volumes we have gotten through the library. They read these cover to cover and don't stop until they are done.
Johnny Tremain
Red Sales to Capri (Love this book!)
The Phantom Tollbooth
Little House on the Prairie Series (I love these books)
Books that we read or want to read
Peter Pan
Pinocchio
The Original Winnie the Pooh stories (These are hilarious.)
Pippi LOngstocking
Caddie Woodlawn
Ginger Pye
A Wrinkle in Time
The Twenty One Balloons
Homer Price
Sherlock Holmes
See if you can get a copy of The Book Whisperer at your library. She has a bunch of lists in the back of books for kids in this age group. I love lists! I constantly have a list of books we want to read and books we have read. It makes keeping a fresh selection easier.

I forgot that my 8 and 11 year old are both reading The Once and Future King. It is 600 or 700 pages long and they really like it. It is all about King Arthur. That might keep her engaged for a little while.
