Decent children's /lit/?

Anything by Wilhelm Busch if you can find a decent translation.

Give him On the suffering of the world by Schop and let him know early why his mere existence is a joke.

Anne of Green Gables.
It is written in a simple language and was well-praised by Faulkner.

Some Ligotti should do the trick

unironically the lord of the rings. I remember this one time when I was on a hike in mountains and I was passing other tourists and there is this ~35-40 years old guy with his ~6-7 yo son, and he is telling him a story from the hobbit, in every detail, straight from his head! I was kinda blown away, slowed down and followed them for a mile or so cause I wanted to hear the whole story. Kid was also really enjoying it, gasped and wowed few times.

If kid was a girl, or you're not red-pilled about gender: Mad About Madeline, the complete tales. Nieces love that shit, and my eyeballs sweat a little when Madeline is reunited with her crew.

For a boy, Superman or some other wholesome comic of course. Dinotopia did it for me when I was a kid, too. Once he's a little older read something like Treasure Island aloud. Mom used to read pic related to me, which was mostly scary Russian tales about forest monsters and children having adult burdens put on them. I turned out fine, but you can do better.

When my son was six his favorites were Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Beatrice and Ramona, and The Creature from my Closet.

Tried The Hobbit and LOTR, but they were too slow and the vocabulary too archaic.

I read my son some Pinocchio and he made me stop--way too fucked up.

My mom read it to me in Italian when I was a kid, which I barely understood, so it was less traumatic.

You can't go wrong with Roald Dahl, all very easy to read, illustrated, never known a kid not to like them.
