There are several wonderful 1st grade fantasy fiction books. For example, 'The Cat in the Hat' by Dr. Seuss. The Cat brings chaos and fun into the lives of the children in the story, which is a very imaginative concept. 'Where the Wild Things Are' is also a classic. Max travels to an island full of wild creatures, and it's a journey into a child's wild imagination. And 'Amelia Bedelia' books have a bit of a fantastical element as Amelia always takes things literally, leading to humorous and somewhat magical situations.
One characteristic is that they introduce basic fantasy concepts in a gentle way. Such as in 'Frog and Toad Are Friends', the simple idea of Frog having conversations with Toad and their little escapades in the forest is a form of gentle fantasy. They also tend to have a positive and optimistic tone. The settings are often familiar yet with a touch of magic, like a normal neighborhood but with a hidden magical door. And the stories usually have a clear moral or lesson, like the importance of sharing in 'Mercy Watson to the Rescue' where Mercy's actions teach kids about being kind and sharing.
A great 1st grade realistic fiction book is 'The Magic School Bus' series. It takes kids on exciting adventures while still being somewhat based in real - world concepts. Also, 'Mercy Watson' is a good one. It has a cute pig as the main character and tells stories that first graders can easily picture in their minds.
There is 'Rosie's Rocket Ride'. This book follows a little girl named Rosie as she takes a trip on a rocket.

First grade science fiction books typically feature characters that are relatable to young children. For instance, it could be a child like them who goes on an exciting adventure in space or meets an alien. The stories are short and to the point, not overwhelming the kids with too much information. They are designed to spark the children's interest in science fiction and get them thinking about the wonders of the universe in a fun and accessible way.
