Best Books for Kids by Age, Theme & Topic
For as long as I remember, books have been an essential part of my life. I have fond early memories of being read to by both my mother, my grandmother and my grandfather. Once I could read independently, I could accurately be described as a bookworm. And my love of books has brought joy to many as I have shared literally hundreds of fabulous tales with kids of all ages, as both a teacher and as a parent.
There is something truly magical hiding within the pages of a well written and illustrated children’s book .
