Books to Read When Your Child Isn't Ready for Harry Potter

The themes and adventures of the Harry Potter series are a bit too advanced for preschoolers and the younger crowd in elementary school. But there are plenty of age-appropriate books available for little ones who adore magic and mystical, out-of-this-world creatures. With titles including witches, fairies, ghosts, and dragons on this list, you're bound to find the perfect title to read aloud or share with your fantasy-loving child.
