best books 7 year girl image

KNA

My 7 year old girl is so hooked on to picture books. She refuses to move on to Chapter books. I tried many of them from library. She likes to see color pictures along the way. Can somebody suggest good, short( as she hates thick books) colorful chapter books that I can get from library. Author names or Book names please.
desparate for answers. Please help

Answer
they are somewhat old fashioned but most enid blyton books are illustrated

just a thought - why not read a short passage of the book yourself then ask your daughter to read through the book to find the answer to a question based on what you read - if she gets it right give her a small reward. Do this a few times but obviously not with every book and hopefully she will become as entranced with the written word as she now is with pictures

What gift should my son take to a 7-year old girl's birthday party?

I only have sons and nephews, so I have no idea what 7-year old girls like. He has only known her for a month and has no idea what she's into.

Answer
Try a gift card to Build a Bear.
You can also try a lovely costume from the Disney store.
Stuffed animals,DVDs or just look in the pink section of any store. You will find hundreds of choices.
A Halloween head band, some cute sox or an art kit.What about music or books? Make sure to included gift receipts.

Have fun shopping.
