Need Help Finding Great Books to Read to Your Children….
Do you ever feel like you read the same Children’s books over and over? Many kids have their favorites books and they love to hear them every night. When my son was young we read Good Night Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown, every single night for a few years. He loved it, he eventually could repeat the book from front to back. This is a great way to kick-start a child’s reading passion. However, for the adults, it might get a little boring. Selfishly I needed a change and I knew that the more exposure he had to a variety of books would benefit him later in life. So, we implemented a plan. He could pick two books every night and I would pick a new book for us to read.
The trick for adults is finding good books to read aloud to your kids! Time Magazine put out a list of the best 100 Children’s books. This list has a huge variety of books. Many classics that we probably listened to when we were kids. The best part about this list is that your local library probably has them all on their shelves.
March is reading month… a great challenge would be to read a new book to your kids each night. Using this list and a few trips to the library you can expose your kids to new worlds, new characters, and new themes. Now check out the list and head to your local library! You won’t regret it, and your kids may even find a new favorite book!
