Wondering what books to build your child’s library with? Here’s a short list of just a few of the best children’s books ever written.
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. Goodnight Moon doesn’t try to tell a story, rather, it gives us a glimpse at the world through the eyes of a young child, as a young rabbit says goodnight to all the things in the room. Calm and soothing, Goodnight Moon has been quintessential bedtime reading for well over 70 years.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. First published in 1969, Eric Carle’s stunningly illustrated story of a caterpillar eating its way through the week before its metamorphosis into a butterfly is nothing short of a staple of childhood reading, and easily one of the best children’s books ever written.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. A groundbreaking depiction of multicultural life, The Snowy Day has not only introduced countless young readers to the joys of exploring freshly fallen snow, it’s also taught them about diversity, all while earning Keats a Caldecott Medal for his illustrations.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. Fun for kids, but also educational, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has served as an introduction to the ABC for many a generation of kids. The illustrations are simple yet satisfying, and the rhythmic repetition is a whole lot of fun!
