Thanks so much for this wonderful list. My 7yo devours books and I am always searching for good ones for him to read. We own some on your list, but there are a bunch of new ones that we haven't read ~ I just reserved some Commander Toad ones from our library for him to read.

Thanks again!

! We have also reserved a couple Commander Toad books at our library, they seem perfect for adventurous boys! We are going to the King Tut exhibit in about a month so we are also looking forward to reading Tut’s Mummy: Lost…and Found. Thanks for this great list
