The Greatest Kids Books On The Market

Books are an important part of every kid’s childhood. You might even be able to remember some of your favorite characters from when you were little. Kids books help parents bond with their children at night as they tuck them in, they help them relate to fictional characters through creation, art, and innovative plots, and they help them develop their own ideas and experiences. Some children’s books are timeless and will be passed on from generation to generation. Others move with the times, taking issues and ways of modern society and squeezing them into a book for children to hold, read, and comprehend. Here you can find some of the best children’s books that you definitely want to bring into your home.

Dr. Seuss is also known for other books including Green Eggs and Ham, One fish Two fish Red fish Blue fish, Oh the Places You’ll Go, and many more.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Written by Laura Joffe Numeroff, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie starts out with a boy giving a mouse a cookie and then answering to many more requests. The mouse naturally needs a glass of milk, a straw, and even a mirror to avoid getting a milk mustache. In the end, the mouse’s requests lead him back to asking for another cookie.

Dragons Love Tacos

Written by Adam Rubin, Dragons Love Tacos was published in 2012. The #1 best-seller on Amazon is a funny read for children as it follows dragons that love chicken tacos, beef tacos, big tacos, and small tacos.

  1. Reading daily is a must for me and my son. This is our bonding session every night before we sleep. We don’t often repeat stories as some books we purchased but majority are from the library.
    Sometimes my little one picks out the common stories due to him seeing it in school and other times he just relaxes in the chairs flipping through any random book whilst I choose our selection for the week.
    We read some adventure stories and some stories of lessons learned.
    I will be on the lookout for these books the next time I visit the library.
