good books for growing niblings? (hexbear.net)

my niblings are 5 and 6 respectively. they like to read and be read to and I would like to get some books to help foster their enjoyment of reading as they grow up - so ideally stuff that's not too challenging but still good for fostering young imaginations. obviously sneaky subversive themes are welcome - the sneakier the better, I kinda suspect their dad leans chud.

Warrior cats and wings of fire are cool. Dogman is popular and pretty funny.

Calvin and Hobbes is timelessly funny, but does have some adult themes.

Imo if the dad leads chud, you're better off supporting a love of reading in general.

I love Wrinkle in time, but it's pretty anti-communist
