I just rekindled in me, and kindled (?) in my oldest son, an interest in a terrific children's book series called "The Great Brain." They are about a Catholic family of boys growing up in turn of the century St. George, Utah, and are terrific. I would recommend them to any boy or girl. The author is John D. Fitzgerald, and they are very entertaining. They are more 'boyish' books, but I would imagine that young girls might really like them as well. As I recall, there were 6 or 7 books, but it looks like you can only get 4 in the stores anymore.

Does anybody else have suggestions for good series of children's books for kids under the age of 10?
