The way young children learn to read is by reading with others. There are plenty of easy reader books, but the book alone won't do much. They need people to sit with them and help them thru each word, sentence and paragraph. We started with Bob books, then graduated to beginner childrens books of various levels. Most children's books will have levels that indicate their complexity. Once they're comfortable with those you can move to series like Magic Tree House, etc.

Deltora Quest , Or maybe Frog and Toad would be better and deltora quest in a year if he's having some trouble

Deltora quest is a fantasy kingdom adventure story with some simple riddles and puzzles, not super popular in America but every kid that reads deltora quest gets hooked on them

I showed my partner who is an elementary school teacher this post and they said that the most important thing is to choose decodable text. There are an abundant amount of examples online, so I would start there!
