[LM_NET] ELEM. Reading beyond their years

[David Lininger <tigerlibrarian@GMAIL.COM>]

My daughter, who teaches first and second grade, asked me for advice, 
and I'm turning to you, since I'm not an elementary librarian.

What would you recommend for first and second graders who are reading at 
4th-5th grade levels? She didn't say anything about the maturity of 
either the children or the parents, so I'm guessing that she's looking 
for books that are still age-appropriate for the kids but written with a 
higher vocabulary level.

Ideas?

I've already suggested Asimov's _Lucky Starr_ books.
