Great Book Ideas For Kids Of All Ages
Posted December 13, 2019 by Prairie Wife - 1 comment
I have seen dozens of posts on social media asking for book ideas for kids. It’s the holidays and I know lots of you are looking for things other than tech to offer your kids (or grandkids).
ALL of the Cowkids are avid readers!
Between what they are loving, and what I know as a past first-grade teacher, I feel like I have some great ideas for you.
I’ve organized these by age but keep in mind they aren’t set in stone, it’s OK to get a book for a child that might be a bit above or below their level. The picture books are just as fun to look at as they are to read out loud for parents or older siblings. Also, I didn’t separate them into books for boys and girls because frankly, my kids have ALL read and enjoyed these books (and I have 3 boys and 2 girls).
