I am hoping someone might suggest chapter books that I can read to my kindergartener.
We have a home library filled with traditional children’s picture books but I do grow dreadfully tired sometimes of reading the same books over and over.
I thought reading a chapter a night would be a fun addition to our bedtime routine. Plus, I didn’t read a ton when I was a young child, so I am sure I missed out on some real gems.
Are there any childrens chapter books that would be appropriate to read to my 5 year old?
Thanks!
EDIT: We have read Pooh more times than I can count 🙂

Beverly Cleary
There’s a few good chapter book series such as Judy B. Jones, Captain Underpants (one of my faves as a kid), Magic Treehouse, Goosebumps, etc. A lot of them are turning into graphic novels nowadays though.
Highly recommend Winnie the Pooh at this age, even though it’s short stories and not a chapter book
I second the recommendation for Beverly Cleary and particularly her Ralph S. Mouse trilogy which begins with **The Mouse and the Motorcycle**
This isn’t a chapter book – it’s a picture book series but worth looking into. Josh Funk’s Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast. I’ve found that kids and adults love this one
**A Bear Called Paddington**
**The Beatrix Potter Treasury**
Also seconding anything Winnie the Pooh
The Princess in Black series is quite delightful.
Dory Fantasmagory series
[My Naughty Little Sister](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/245939.My_Naughty_Little_Sister) by Dorothy Edwards and Shirley Hughes
The BFG by Roald Dahl was one of my favorite read-aloud books as a kid! I also loved My Father’s Dragon, The Waterhorse (the book, NOT the movie!) and the Sophie books by Dick King-Smith
My kindergarten teacher read us Charlotte’s Web. It was perfect for us at that age.
Tashi. Thea Stilton. Rumble in the Jungle. The folk of the far away tree (Enid Blyton). You can get some of these as a chapter book but with pictures on each page.
