How old is Small Child? There are lots of good animal stories out there, but I'd guess WD is too long for most young children.
I actually tend to be contrary like that, too, and prefer to find my own reading rather than having someone suggest things. Which is odd since I spent most of my career suggesting books to library patrons who relied on me for that and were actually quite demanding about it! My life's easier now that I can just read for the fun of it--I used to be always thinking of who all might enjoy the book I was currently reading.
