Great Books to Read to Your Children

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

There are a number of books that transcend the time and are such great stories that they can be read generation after generation and still have meaning. It is important to expose children to this type of literature. Not only does this create bonding time between child and parent, but it also reinforces the importance of reading.

The first book I can recommend is The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster.  This story is about Milo who can't find anything to do at home.  He is taken to another land and has a grand adventure.  Children and adults a like will enjoy the word play this book offers. You will meet the which who is not a witch and the whether man who ironicaly is interested in the weather. This is a must read for every family.

C.S. Lewis wrote the epic adventure called The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is part of a larger series of books called The Chronicals Of Narnia. Some people may be put off by the books Christian values, but this is really not too in your face. Though you can find the Christian themes to a child this is a epic tale about children and their adventure with mythic creatures and an evil witch. This book is a classic and children love to use their imagination to follow children their own age through this great land. The characters are lovable and easy to enjoy.

A Wrinkle in Time is written by Madeleine L&rsquo and is part of a series of books that are well worth reading. This story revolves around a character named Meg.  Meg is very easy to relate to as a teenager who is low in self-esteem and doesn't quite fit in. Meg goes through this book trying to save her father and ultimate succeeds in spite of herself. This book is easy to understand even though it is very heavy in the subject of science. The characters are greatly enjoyable and a great introduction into the sci fi niche for children who may be more into this type of story.

This is just three of many books that are well worth reading. You could also consider reading The Golden Compass, Ramona the pest, and Little House on the Prairie as these are all great books to read also. Think back to the books you loved as a child, odds are your children or the children in your life will also enjoy the same books.
