    What I remember reading to my kids aged 5-10

    The Hobbit

    The Fellowship of the Ring (more for me but they liked to snuggle up and fall asleep to it)

    Harry Potter 1-5 (the hardback versions with lots of pictures)

    Eric the Viking - Terry Jones - a personal fav of mine

    Various compendiums of Greek and Norse Myths

    Dr Seuss books

    What do people do all day - Richard Scarry

    My son started reading the Beastquest books very early by himself and was happy to read independently from there. After that at around 8 he started reading diary of a wimpy kid and the 13 storey treehouse type books.
