As a parent who spends a lot of time reading with my kids, I’ve come across some truly wonderful books that capture their imagination and teach valuable lessons. One of our absolute favorites is 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson. The rhythmic text and engaging story about a clever mouse outwitting predators in the woods make it a joy to read aloud. The illustrations by Axel Scheffler are vibrant and full of little details that keep young readers hooked. It’s a book that encourages creativity and problem-solving, and my kids love reciting the lines along with me.

Another gem is 'Where the Wild Things Are' by Maurice Sendak. This classic takes children on a wild adventure with Max, a boy who sails to an island of fantastical creatures. The story beautifully captures the emotions of childhood—anger, imagination, and the comfort of returning home. The illustrations are iconic, and the narrative is simple yet profound. It’s a book that sparks conversations about feelings and the power of imagination, making it a staple in our bedtime routine.

For younger children, 'Goodnight Moon' by Margaret Wise Brown is a timeless choice. The gentle, repetitive text and soothing illustrations create a calming atmosphere perfect for winding down. The book’s focus on saying goodnight to familiar objects in a room helps toddlers feel secure and ready for sleep. It’s a ritual in our house, and the predictability of the story is comforting for little ones.

If you’re looking for something with humor and heart, 'Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!' by Mo Willems is a fantastic pick. The interactive nature of the book, where the pigeon pleads with the reader to let him drive the bus, is hilarious and engaging. Kids love shouting "No!" at the pigeon’s antics, and it’s a great way to teach them about boundaries and persuasion in a fun, lighthearted way.

For families who enjoy stories with a bit of adventure, 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' by Beatrix Potter is a classic. The mischievous Peter Rabbit’s escapades in Mr. McGregor’s garden are both thrilling and cautionary. The beautiful watercolor illustrations and the timeless message about the consequences of disobedience make it a story that resonates across generations. It’s a book that opens up discussions about rules and curiosity, and the small format is perfect for little hands.

The Day My Five‑Year‑Old Disappeared

Cough Syrup

5.3K

"Mommy, you have to be the first person to come pick me up, okay?" These are my daughter Dorothy Grant's final words to me when she walked me out of the house this morning. But when I stand at the kindergarten's entrance with a box of Dorothy's favorite strawberry shortcake in my hands, the security guard just stares at me as though I lost my mind. "Ma'am, this place might be where Sunflower Kindergarten is located, but it has already closed its doors for three years. This place is now a retirement home." I rush into the "kindergarten" instantly. The spot where the slide used to be is now replaced by a row of flowerbeds. The room that used to be the classroom now hosts a bunch of elderly people, who bask in the sunlight. With trembling hands, I call my husband, Chester Grant, on the phone. He sounds very exasperated and exhausted over the phone. "Honey, we've been married for five years, and we choose to be childless. You've never given birth before."

What are the best family books to read aloud with young children?

For a rollicking, cumulative tale, 'The Napping House' by Audrey Wood is a classic for a reason. The repetitive, building text ('and on that granny / there is a child') is hypnotic and fun. Kids love anticipating the next layer in the sleepy pile and then the chaotic unraveling. The illustrations by Don Wood are rich with detail and humor. It’s a book about calm and chaos, perfect for any time of day.

What are the best unicorn books for young children to read?

Man, I was that kid who absolutely devoured anything with a shiny horn on the cover. The one that still gets me is 'Thelma the Unicorn' by Aaron Blabey. It’s a complete riot, but honestly it’s less about the unicorn magic and more about fame and being true to yourself, which went over my nephew’s head but he loved the pink sparkles anyway. The art is super bold and funny, a real winner for read-alouds because you can do all these voices. For something more classic, I keep coming back to 'The Unicorn and the Moon' by Tomie dePaola. It’s got that gentle, quiet feel, like a bedtime story from a different time. It doesn't have the frantic energy of newer books, and sometimes that's exactly what you need when the sugar crash is hitting. I’d pair it with something like 'Uni the Unicorn' for balance—that one’s all about believing and friendship, very sweet without being cloying.

What books for shared reading are best for families?

Nothing beats the magic of gathering around a book as a family, especially when it's something that sparks laughter and discussion. I'd wholeheartedly recommend 'The Phantom Tollbooth' by Norton Juster—it's a whimsical adventure packed with wordplay and clever lessons that both kids and adults adore. The protagonist Milo’s journey through the Lands Beyond feels like a shared inside joke, where every chapter unravels new puns or philosophical nuggets. My younger cousin and I still quote the 'Whether Man' scenes years later! For something more visually engaging, 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan is a masterpiece. This wordless graphic novel lets families interpret its immigrant story together, with each page inviting different theories about the protagonist’s surreal new world. It’s sparked some of our most heartfelt conversations about belonging and change. We spent hours pointing at tiny details in Tan’s illustrations, each spotting something the others missed.

Honestly, skip the original poem for really little ones—the language is a bit archaic. 'The Night Before Christmas: A Brick Story' with LEGO illustrations is a huge hit. It’s visually engaging and familiar, which immediately grabs their interest. They love pointing out the brick-built Santa and reindeer. It makes the story accessible and fun without changing a word of the text. It’s a brilliant way to bridge the classic tale with modern play.

Is Fun for the Whole Family suitable for young children?

Reading 'Fun for the Whole Family' with my niece was such a delightful experience! The book balances simplicity and engagement perfectly—bright illustrations catch kids' eyes, while the gentle humor keeps adults smiling too. My niece, who's five, adored the playful animal characters, especially the clumsy bear who kept tripping over his own paws. The story subtly weaves in lessons about teamwork and kindness without feeling preachy. That said, some younger kids might find a few scenes mildly chaotic (like the picnic-gone-wrong chapter), but it’s all in good fun. The language is accessible, though toddlers might need occasional explanations for longer words. Overall, it’s a cozy read-aloud choice that doesn’t talk down to kids or bore parents—a rare gem! We’ve reread it three times already, and she still giggles at the same parts.

What are the best children's books for early readers?

Few things bring me as much joy as seeing a kid light up while reading their first book. For early readers, 'Elephant & Piggie' by Mo Willems is pure magic—simple, hilarious, and full of heart. The dialogue-driven format makes it easy to follow, and the expressive illustrations pull them right in. Another gem is 'Fly Guy' by Tedd Arnold. The absurd premise (a boy’s pet fly!) hooks kids instantly, and the short chapters give a sense of accomplishment. For something quieter, 'Frog and Toad' by Arnold Lobel feels like a warm hug with its gentle stories about friendship. Bonus: these books all have audiobook versions that make great bedtime listens.

Is the My Family and Other Animals series suitable for children and young teens?

More than suitable, it’s restorative. In a world that often feels harsh for kids, this series is a sun-drenched escape to a simpler, kinder time. The conflicts are small and personal, always resolved with humor and warmth. There’s a deep-seated optimism in Durrell’s view of nature and family. It can be a real balm for an anxious child. The prose itself is calming and beautiful. I’d recommend it as much for its emotional tone as for its content.

Graphic novels are the secret weapon here. 'The Tea Dragon Society' by Kay O'Neill is a peaceful, gentle story about craft, memory, and gentle relationships. The art is stunningly beautiful, captivating all ages instantly. The pace is slow and contemplative, a nice break from high-stakes plots. It teaches gentle values without being preachy. My child loves the cute dragon designs, and I appreciate the nuanced way it handles themes like mentorship and coping with fading traditions. It's a warm hug of a book.
