Fantasy Novels

Do you think Harry Potter is to old for the 1-3 grade set? Maybe one book a year so they can grow/mature as Harry does? My mom used to read my sister and I the Bobbsey Twin novels at a chapter a night...

I remember loving the Little Vampire series by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg, Amazon.com lists the Reading Level as 9-12 yrs, but I remember devouring them in 2nd grade. I also loved Choose Your Own Adventure books (especially this series of them, marketed to girls, called Heartquest). And I still go back to read Tamora Pierce's books. I also recommend 'So You Want to Be a Wizard' by Diane Duane or the classic Madeleine L'Engle's novels like 'A Wrinkle in Time'.
