Have you ever wondered what books to get read to your kids? Sometimes it is nice to have a list of books appropriate for different ages of children. Each year of my children’s lives, I’ve put together a favorite list of books that we have enjoyed throughout the year. These are books that have been read countless times and are the best of the best!
Remember that a 3 year-old may still enjoy books from when they were babies. And, a new 6 year-old reader will enjoy reading some of the easy and familiar books they listened to as toddlers.
Of course, a child’s interest will often trump any age appropriate list and I have plenty of those lists too! Looking for book lists all about horses, a new sibling, autism, colors, holidays or learning to ride a bike? I have you covered. Just click on the link below to take you to all my topic book lists.
Now, here are our favorite books for children by age!
