What's a good DS game for a first grader?

he already has mario cart, new super mario bros. Any suggestions?

All Kirby games are great and are pretty accessible in my eyes.

How good is he at reading?

The only appropriate things that come to mind are Picross DS and Mario 64 DS.

Kirby Canvas Curse, Nintendogs, and maybe Animal Crossing Wild World/ Pokemon Diamond/Pearl if some reading isn't an issue.

I hear New Super Mario Bros. is good. I can't think of any other DS games a 1st grader could play. They would probably turn their DS into a frisbee trying to beat Contra 4.

If he is in to racing games i would say trackmania DS. Other than that one nothing really comes to mind, i should know but i just cant think about another one for the moment.

Kirby Super Star Ultra

Sonic Rush, Kirby Superstar Ultra, Yoshi's Island DS, and Warioware Touched are all easy and fun to play

Shaun the Sheep is a fairly simple mini-game filled title that you might look into. Same animation as Wallace and Gromit too, if that helps.
