My children love to read and it’s a habit I am happy to support. I’ll admit that in the business of day to day life sometimes reading gets pushed to the bottom of our list, but that is something I am working on ending. Making reading important in our home again is really important to me. I loved to read growing up and I hope that my children continue to love it as well. While my kids love all books, there are certain books they tend to learn towards and there are several series of books that tend to be their favorite.
I think it’s safe to say that most kids don’t care about the message a book brings. While that is something I look for, they want a fun cover, colorful pictures, and a book that is fun and engaging for them. We’ve read many books over the years, but these are their favorite book series.
