Raising a Book Lover
Books are phenomenally important. I have an entire bookshelf filled with only children’s books… some from my own childhood and new ones I’ve picked up along the way. There is nothing to replace books, and any child who is instilled with a love of reading will be a very lucky child indeed. I highlighted some of the best books for kids in this piece, but these titles only scratch the surface of what’s out there for the youngster in your life, from Arnie the Doughnut to the Twilight Saga.
Belly Button Book, by Sandra Boynton
For the little folks who are obsessed with this silly body part, this board book from beloved Boynton has the belly button taking center stage. It’s filled with delightful language and priceless illustrations to tell the tale of hippos and their “bee-bo’s.”
Curious George Takes a Job, by H.A. Rey
This funky monkey gets into mischief and learns some important lessons with the Man in the Yellow Hat. Kids will adore the illustrations and the shenanigans that George manages to get into. And there are so many other installments of George – but this one is the standout of the bunch.
Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
This classic, enchanting story will never leave you once you’re introduced to the March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. This is a story of humanity and family, love and loss, courage and fear – relevant, unforgettable, a masterpiece of American literature.
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll
Nonsensical happenings, curious language, outrageous characters – this timeless celebration of Alice’s adventures will spark every imagination one way or another. The version to have in your collection is that with the masterful and detailed illustrations by John Tenniel that so carefully match the text.
