Have you tried the Horrid Henry series? They usually go down very well at that sort of age.

Difficult to find books that are short enough to read in one sitting but are not babyish.

Burglar Bill, the Gruffalo books, The Boy who Grew Dragons, the 13 Storey Tree House series ?

I have lots of books but GS says they are too babyish now.
I'm looking for something to read at bedtime - short enough to read in one sitting and with pictures. He's not a confident reader himself so I'll be doing all the reading.
