A general to share kid safe stories (self made if wanted) and kid book.

I'm struggling to find bedtime stories to read to my 9 y.o lil bro and my 6 y.o himouto.

are you looking for short stories or long ones you can tell piece by piece? 6 seems a bit young for such long ones.
what have you read so far?
how long do you want to read per bedtime?

my son is 5, so we stick to short stuff for now.
i always get different books from the library so they are pretty random. if he's a bit older i will read him some ende, lindgren and hohler.

he really likes the books written by preusseler and loves the short stories from hohler. but that's a local author that didn't get translated afaik. maybe i could translate some of those stories?
they are pretty weird and mostly without trying to shoehorn a moral into you. i like that.

What's wrong with LOTR ?
They had no nightmares and loved the characters and insisted to watch the long version multiple times.

It should be a great aspiration to write a book that would encourage a thousand bright smiles.

Never read the Potter series as a kid should I read it to the kids or is it as bad as the movies ?

The Brother's Grimm Fairytales and One Thousand and One Nights are classics in this department for a good reason. They're relatively engaging, episodic so they avoid the issues with forgetfulness that arise during bedtime reading (caused in part by their age, in part by them slowly losing track as they slip into sleep), and each sub-story is ~15-30 minutes, making them an optimal length for bedtime reading.

Also, though this might be less useful for you since they're 3 years a part, while searching for books to read with my own niece and nephew, I stumbled across across this list of children's books marked by reading level:

I'm interested in getting this for my niece but she's only three, and so I assume too young for it.
