Great
children's books are like magic, sparking a love of reading
and a love of learning. Average books can have the opposite effect.
Children who
are repeatedly exposed to
uninspired children's books eventually find reading, well,
uninspiring. Picking
the right children's books
matters! Few things are more
powerful in generating excitement about a
subject than a great
children's
book! As many teachers and parents will attest, books really
do start
the
adventure!
Did you know that
nearly 30,000
children's
books are published every single year! What busy
parent or teacher has the time to sift through all of them looking for
the gems? No
problem! That is why
we started this site. To help you do just that.
This
website is a
labor of love, created
by three elementary school
teachers who use
children's
books every
day in their own classrooms.
There have been so many charming, stunning,
thought-provoking, clever, and funny children's books written
in
recent years. We're excited to share them with you via this website!
We sincerely
hope our
lists of best children's books will help you in picking books for your
kids or planning your classroom curriculum. And we'd love to get your
recommendations. Share your favorites.
