Friday I'm in Love: Books For the Kids in Your Life

There are few things I love more than books. So when I did my Holiday Gift Guide a few weeks ago, I didn't include them. I knew I couldn't limit my recommendations enough to just include a few in a gift guide - once I start talking about books, I can go on and on. Ahem.



So, click on the links below to order books for the loved ones in your life. Or buy them from an independent book store. I mean, you could get them some other way, but. . .don't you want to support me? Or an independent book store? I'm just sayin'. Without further ado. . .

For Preschoolers:





For kids just learning to read independently:





Picture books for older kids:





Early chapter books:






More advanced chapter books:





Originally, this guide was going to include books for young adults and adults, but um. . .I kind of went overboard with the children's books. So look for the adult book guide next Friday. . .

We got the Paper Bag Princess when J was in preschool and we still read it now that she's in 2nd grade. The Rainbow Fairies I can do without, but she reads them herself and they did get her reading chapter books on her own so they have that to recommend them.

p.s. Ivy and Bean is another great series for kids just starting to read chapter books. J tore through those last summer, and they're fun for adults to read, too, reminiscent of the Ramona books, I think.

@Steph - I love the Paper Bag Princess so much. I loathed reading the Rainbow Magic fairies, but they're what got Ironflower reading chapter books independently too, so I shared them. I could not get her interested in Ivy and Bean, though.
