I'll also second the Redwall books by Brian Jacques. I read those to my nephews and nieces whenever I'm visiting them. They range from 5 to 9 right now and I occasionally have to explain a word or three to the youngest but he does just fine.
I also recommend Thornton Burgess. His writing is fairly simple but the stories are all good.
