Many children have a great interest in books and stories that deal with fantasy, and with other magical elements, and there are no books that mastered these elements more than the work of Tolkien; of course "The Lord of the Rings" was written more for teenagers and adults than for children, and might provide a very tricky reading challenge for a child, but "The Hobbit" is a wonderful children's book that your child is almost certain to enjoy!
If you want to find a series that contains these fantastical elements children so often enjoy, look to one of Tolkien's contemporaries - CS Lewis; Lewis penned the much-beloved Narnia series, and with seven books in the series in all, this will give your child plenty of reading to enjoy!
And if your child is not necessarily big on the fantastical, or if they are simply wanting to try reading something a little bit different, another great series to look at is the "Little House on the Prairie" series by Laura Ingles Wilder; this series explores the story of a family of pioneers in the early days of our country, and it is a great learning experience for children while also being immensely entertaining!
Getting your children into reading is certainly an important and rewarding undertaking - and when you pick up any of the books from this list, you should have no problem doing this, and getting your children to enjoy reading in the process!
