Best Books For Children to Start Enjoying Reading

Puffin Peter by Petr Horacek: An extremely sweet story with amazing illustrations, is a superb read for children of any age.

The Elephant & Piggie Series by Mo Willems: These books are incredibly cute and funny. They are simple enough for beginner readers and facilitate role play. That makes it even more enjoyable as the child is not the only one reading. It becomes more fun for the child if he or she is allowed to choose the roles, each one must play.

Diary of the Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney: These are funny and hence have the knack of catching the reader’s attention and holding it. These books are fast read and hence give the reader a feeling of accomplishment. This is important to re enforce that reading is an enjoyable activity and not a daunting activity.

Books by David Walliams: For the 9+ age group, these books are a fantastic read. I strongly recommend his books for anyone in the 9+ category.
