hi Latha,

apart from the good books suggested by dear members u can get ur son Britannica's Encyclopaedia--- even though its gk book but children would love to read this, everything is explained in colorful pictures and easy words are used. this books comes in many parts i think 12parts, this summer u can get him first three parts. i am sure he will love to read this.
