So, oldest daughter turns 6 (gasp) this weekend, and it's time to buy presents. One of which will likely be a new chapter book for pre-bed reading. Any suggestions? We've been through E.B. White, lots of Dahl, an Oz book or two, one Beverly Cleary, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Dr. Doolittle, probably others that I'm not thinking of. Any childhood favorits coming to mind?
Also, any other inspired ideas for birthday gifts for a 6 year old girl would be appreciated.
Thanks all. Ollie

For girls, I recommend any of the "Junie B. Jones" series by Barbara Park. My 9 y/o started reading these in kindergarten and still loves them. They're for the probably 6-10 y/o set and mostly silly, if she's into that sort of thing.
