What is a good book series for a 6 year old girl?

Question

(besides Magic Treehouse please!)

Answer 1

besides Junie B. Jones, which is a good suggestion --

Ramona books (realistic fiction); A-Z mysteries; Cam Jansen books (also mysteries); Magic Schoolbus (science); Franny K. Stein (humor)

i'll probably think of others as soon as i hit submit!

Answer 2

Junie B. Jones...I almost cry I laugh so hard when I read these to my 7 years old...they are hysterical...here is an exerpt from my favorite one:

Chapter 4: Snipping, Snipping, Snipping

I opened and closed my shiny scissors real fast.

"Now I can start my years and years of practice!" I whispered very thrilled.

I skipped to my bed where my stuffed animals sit. 'Cause I needed volunteers, of course.

"Who wants to go first?" I asked my animals. "Who wants to get their fur trimmed at my beauty shop?"

My bestest elephant named Philip Johnny Bob raised his foot.

"I do! I do!" he said.

I hugged him very tight. 'Cause that guy is always a good sport, that's why.

I picked him up and put him in my beauty chair.

I sat him on lots of pillows so he would be tall.

Then I kept on looking and looking at his fur.

"Yeah, only here's the problem," I said. "Your fur is made out of softie gray velvet. And softie gray velvet is short and smoothie. And so I can't even trim you."

Philip Johnny Bob did a sad sigh.

I patted his head and put him back on the bed.

Just then, I accidentally stepped on something.

I looked on the floor.

And guess what?

It was my slippers that look like bunnies!

"Us! Us! Trim us!" they said real squealy.

"Hey, yeah! 'Cause you have the beautifulest long white fur I ever even saw! And so you guys will be perfect, probably!"

I quick picked them up and put them in my beauty chair.

After that, I skipped all around them. And I snipped their long white fur.

I singed a lovely song.

It is called "Snipping, Snipping, Snipping Their Long White Fur."

It was the funnest fun I ever even had.

After I got done, I holded them up to the mirror so they could see theirselves.

They did not smile.

I>We're baldies," they said real soft.

I did a big breath at those guys.

"Yeah, only I already know you are baldies. But that is not my fault. 'Cause you kept on wiggling while I was trimming you," I said.

I petted their heads very nice.

"Don't worry," I whispered. "'Cause bunny fur probably grows back, probably. I'm almost positive, sort of."

Then I hugged them real gentle. And I throwed them under my bed.

'Cause I didn't want Mother and Daddy might see them, that's why.

After that, I got in bed and did a sigh.

This job was going to take more practice than I thought.

Answer 3

I know you don't want Junie B. Jones but, my sisters daughter read every single one and she is fine at speaking. The library should have books too.

Answer 4

Junie B. Jones, or the boxcar children!!!:)

Answer 5

American Girl

Ameilia Bedelia

the "If You Give A" series by Laura Numeroff

the shoe books by Nora Streatfeild

The Ramona books by Beverly Clearly (Ramona the Brave is a good one to start with or Ramona and Beezus) These are good if your child is an advanced reader otherwise wait a couple more years.

Other books that are enjoyable but not necessarily a series:

* Mrs. Katz and Tush by Patricia Polocco

* Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey

* Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

* Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

* To Think that I Saw It On Mulberry Street (can't think of the author at the moment)

* Chocolate Fever (sorry, can't think of the author of that one either right now)

I don't like Junie B Jones because she is a bit of a smart alek and uses alot of inventive and odd spellings in the stories that give kids bad ideas on spelling and writing.  If she likes Arthur there is a whole series of chapter books out about the characters in the young readers areas of stores.  I know Barnes and Nobles has all kinds of young readers beginner chapter books available for kids this age.

Answer 6

shel silverstein has books of poems for young children

Answer 7

I have a 6 year old girl. We do two different things.

1. I read a chapter out of a chapter book to her most nights. We have read Charlottes Web, we are about to start stuart little.

2. When she reads to me, we read easy readers, Disney princess have alot of easy readers, and my little pony.

Since she is six I am assuming she is in school, we get Scholastic Book orders every month from her school and they have GREAT books for this age.

We have some american girl books. and they are chapter books. They are great to read and usually as we read them I try to explain some things about history, she is really interested in these books and while some of the content may be above her by a year or two if you want some good quality time learning about history and you have the time to explain things about the past to her after you read a chapter I think these are wonderful books.
