Yes, my boys read almost the whole series of cam jasen books when he was ard 6 yrs old. It is about a boy and his classmates, a girl who has a photogenic mind and how they solved simple mystery. Hope I did not remember wrongly. It has been so long ago.

Correct me if I am wrong. I thought it is a Girl's series? Cam Jansen is a girl, no? Can you also share about series that your boys read when they were younger? My 6yo is currently reading the The New Adventures of the Wishing-Chair by Enid Blyton, 5-6 books in total. I need to start looking around for another series for him. Not too wordy. :roll:lovinglife:

:thankyou:[/quote]Yup, Cam Jansen is a girl who likes to solve mystery and she has a photogenic mind. There is another boy called Eric, in the book. They solved simple mystery together. This is one of the first chapters books that my son read on his own independently.
Other mystery series include encyclopedia brown and Marc Brown Arthur Chapter books. Other series like the berenstain bears, horrid henry and the Little Mr and Miss series are also my son's favourite. There are many more others that I have forgotten the titles. I need to visit the library to recall the titles of these books.
Then they progressed to read the magic tree series (mystery story) in p1 and P2.

Oh, lovinglife, your question on Cam Jansen brought back so much fond memories for me. I used to bring my boys to the library every week and we have borrowed many books from the library. I have done a google search - Another 2 series that I can remember are Babar the elephant and madeline story book. For Babar and Madeline, I read to my elder son, when he was around 5 years old.
When they were younger, I remembered reading George, the monkey series (3 to 5 year old ) and eric carl books - good night, moon; from head to toe; Little clouds; (1-3 years old) to them.
There is one thick compilation of the classical stories that I borrowed many times from the library. We love all the stories in it and we would read them again and again -

I hardly see Eric being illustrated in the book cover, thought he is just carefare

thanks for recalled so many titles for me! Little Mr and Miss is my DS most hateful series so far. He always gotten this series as weekly read from his enrichment teacher. As for magic tree house series, I let him read when he was slightly over 5yo but he was reluctant and not keen. So I kept the books away. Maybe can try again soon

We visit library every alternate weeks. My son is complaining he has to rush for so many books before returning. Well, he picked the books, not me. On the other hand, my 3.5yo is reading lightning fast, she reads day and night, I am running out titles for her though we have hundreds of books at home, and it is increasing every month. She is in love with Madeline and Curious George currently. The Madeline that you mentioned here are those short story books from Penguin Young Reader right? If not, can you advise which Madeline you read to your sons? My girl likes her very much.
Did your sons read My Father's Dragon?
I will check out the other titles that you have mentioned. Excited!
