Fantasy books/series that are appropriate for young kids?

Excluding Tolkien, what are some books geared more towards young kids? Good stories without too much blood and sex that I could read to them?
They are only 6 & 8, but I started reading them some Greek myths this weekend, and they really liked that. The Hobbit will be next. But after that, any ideas?

Harry Potter
Chronicles of Narnia
Chronicles of Prydain
Percy Jackson
I'm always torn at that age and reading these to them out loud, because I'd also love for them to read them on their own when they get a little older. We read the entire Harry Potter as a family, though, and it was great.

Thank you

This is an awesome trilogy.
The main character breaks the 4th wall and is hilarious.
Its about magicians who summon genies to do their bidding and help them, but if they mess up the process the genie can break free and wreck shop.
I'm actually about to re-read it.

His Dark Materials
Man, did this series start out great and the sputter at the end or what?
That first book was a really good read and the second one was good too, but the third book just seemed poorly planned or something. Like he didn't know how to end the story.
I am pretty surprised that the series doesn't get a lot of "hate" around these parts, to be honest.

I absolutely loved these books when I was a kid.

If they are into Disney, and what kids aren't, The Kingdom Keepers series might interest them. My niece loved them

My kids love the Terry Pratchett discworld books.

Stephen King wrote Eyes of the Dragon for his children. Excellent novel.

That's the Chronicles of Prydain. I had no idea it was called that until I googled "Taran Wanderer" because that was the one I remembered the name of.

Good series. I especially like that it emphasizes making honorable, selfless choices even (or especially) when it is difficult.
