What to Read Wednesday: Choosing Books for Kids

August 17, 2016 by Anne Campbell 2 Comments

Choosing Books for Kids

This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

Building a library of good books at home takes time and research. It’s not as simple as grabbing the “Top Picks” off the display at the store anymore. There is a lot of questionable stuff out there, as well as a lack of variety and access to the classics.

Librarians are wonderful resources for helping to choose good books for kids, and many libraries have lists available that break book choices down by age recommendations or genre. If you are looking to go beyond that and have some references at home that you can use to hand pick titles to meet specific needs and interests, we have a list of our favorites for you. These selections will help you garner more enthusiasm for reading as they provide you with a treasure trove of the best children’s literature choices.

If we’ve missed a resource that you value, please share with us in the comments below.

Happy Reading!
