We are big believers in having lots of books. If someone asks me what the kids want for a birthday, holiday, etc I always say books. It’s one thing I never have a problem buying them more of. Thankfully, like me both my kids are big readers. I get a lot of questions on what my favorite kids books are so I made the best guide to children’s books to help you out if you are looking!
These are not all the books we have or use but these are my favorites and the ones I think everyone should have! Liam and Charlotte love books and we keep them in both of our cars, and pretty much all over the house. My favorite places to find great books for a great price are: Marshalls, Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Amazon, Half Priced Books, and any used bookstore!
I would love if you suggested more in the comments below for any mom looking to build her family library! Or to give me more ideas!
What’s your favorite children’s book?

My boys love to read and we have so many books. We are doing a summer reading program through the library and they both got to pick a new book to keep while we were. They love the Berenstain Bears books and Dr. Seuss. My mom and my mother-in-law saved all of our books so we have those, too.
Aw, reminds me of all the books I read when I was young. I enjoy reading and when I do get my own, I will make sure they read a lot too! Thank you for this list!
Definitely some classic children’s books there. My daughter always appreciated the ones I could put voices along with. She had a lot of fun when I did that. I miss those days of reading to her honestly.
There are so many great books for kids of all ages. Your curated list is a good starting point for parents who are feeling overwhelmed by all the choices.
My favorite children’s books are Guess How Much I Love You and Goodnight Moon! I also loved The Very Hungry Caterpillar when I was little as well. Those books make me so happy to this day!
Green Ham and Eggs is a classic! I remember I read it when I was young. Nice to know it’s still popular, haha! 🙂

Awesome books for babies and toddlers. I can recommend these to moms who have kids in this age range as they are always seeking English books.
Such an interesting list of books. I love getting my friends kids books and I’ll have to seek out a few from this list!

This is a good blog post. I could come up with 20 in an instant too. I love this age where they want to snuggle up in your lap and read.
