Book Suggestions for a 7-year-old

[TerryKitten]

My Niece really loves reading, so I thought I'd give her some books for Christmas. What are 7 year old girls reading now a days?

Probably most of the stuff you liked as a kid!

anything by Beverly Cleary
The Magic Treehouse series
Little House on the Prairie
the Chronicles of Narnia series
books by Bill Wallace (most are about dogs or other animals)



so many books... so little time!!

My 7yo adores the Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House" series. They were my favorite when I was 7 too. They sell a great box collection of all 9 books at most book stores for $30-$40.

My daughter likes all the Nancy Drew books and also the Harry Potter books.

 

[Plantlady]

My son reads Captain Underpants.

I'm not sure if girls read those or not though, but he thinks they are hysterical.

He also likes the A to Z mysteries.

Island of the Blue Dolphins
The 21 Balloons

The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren

Both of the Lindgren series have several different books with the same characters.

Add me to the list of moms whose daughters love Junie B. Jones and The Magic Treehouse series. My DD (almost 7) also really enjoys the Disney Fairies, American Girl (especially Samantha's books) and Amelia Bedelia series.

She read the entire Captain Underpants series, but I think that was mostly because her brother was reading them. Same for the Weird School series.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

My daughter loved Junie B Jones
And Franie Stein(I think it was the name) about an evil(not really evil) mad girl scientist.

 

[sarahbelleca]

We have an avid reader too!!
A to Z Mysteries
Boxcar Series
Shel Silverstein Poetry
Magic Treehouse

My Weird School
Disney Fairies
Junie B. Jones

My daughter loved Junie B Jones
And Franie Stein(I think it was the name) about an evil(not really evil) mad girl scientist.

Franny K. Stein books by Cornelia Funke are funny with lots of adventure. A lesser known series is Cam Jansen. She's a girl who solves mysteries.
