When children find interesting books, they often want to read something similar. This is a good thing, especially since there are almost more children's eBooks available as parts of a series than those that are not.
The following list is incomplete, but it will give you an idea of what is out there for the digital readers. Some common prices for Amazon's Kindle devices and Barnes and Noble's Nook are noted with the letters "K" and "N".

I hope you will find this list helpful.
I must admit that I was a bit disappointed again when I discovered that Laura Ingles Wilder's Little House on the Prairie series and C.J. Rowling's Harry Potter series were not available from these vendors in digital format. Perhaps they soon will be.
Those books are available in print, of course, so you may continue to enjoy them anyway.
