Top 10 Best Books for Kids
I read the first three books a number of years ago (I stopped after that), and I loved them all. Neither of the sequels was as fun to read as this one, though. I guess it was especially wondrous the first time around.
Harry Potter is the best series EVER. Hermione isn't girly and completely breaks the "girls are dumb" stereotype. And once kids start, they NEVER stop. That's how good they are.
Such a fantasy classic. The idea of a wizarding world existing within the Muggle world is complex, yet compared to the other books in the series, the story is very simple. It's so fun to read.
If you grew up having never read this (or any Dr. Seuss book), you missed out. Always a fun time reading these.
Every kid should read this book at least once. It's great!
Yes, it's a great story. Everyone should know this!
This is a little bit more of a young adult book, but it is amazing for kids who feel like they aren't challenged when it comes to books!
Read this in public school. The first book I ever had to read that I enjoyed.
Our school had to read it. I liked the book and the movie.
It literally should be in first place! The movie and the book are really touching, especially at the end. Shows true friendship!
I have read this book so many times I remember what happens at every moment. This book is such a great children's novel.
On the contrary to the very long essay about how much these books suck, I disagree.
There are memorable characters. The characters grow and develop. Harry Potter is one of the most bland characters ever. Violet, Klaus, Sunny, Isadora, Quigley, Duncan, and Fiona are all unique and individual characters.
This book series is amazing! It teaches the meaning of some vocabulary words and gives very good clarification and examples. This should be number one!
I love this series, but children younger than nine should NOT be reading this miserable series.
A fantastic book written by a fantastic author. This is my second favorite book.
It's magical in every sense of the word. I loved this book as a kid.
Amazing book. The details are fantastic.
My brother loves this silly book series.
This should definitely be in the top ten. Harry Potter should be at the bottom.
I graduated high school before this entered the curriculum, so I just read it for fun, and I was pleasantly surprised. Then out came the movie.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I want to read this book, but I don't want to break my heart.
Want a tear-jerker? You've got one in this book.
The Newcomers
A good combination of dark (evil giants that eat you) and happy (a magical, dream-giving giant) aspects. My favorite childhood book.
This book is one of my favorites! Well done, Roald!
It's great. It has so many details that if you closed your eyes, you could imagine it.
A children's masterpiece that captures the joy of candy perfectly.
I loved this book when I was really little.
A great work of literature. I was appalled that it wasn't already on the list!
The Giver is awesome! We're reading it in class.
I am surprised it's only #26. This book teaches kids various lessons. Laziness can come with serious consequences (Come Out, Henry!). No matter how old or disabled you are, you can still accomplish great things in life (Edward's Day Out, Edward Helps Out). Teamwork is always key to large tasks (Edward, Gordon, and Henry).
The very first Railway Series book that introduces Edward, Gordon, and Henry.
