They're starting kindergarten, and reading is a huge deal now. Here are the best books your kids will actually love.
The best books for 5-year-olds depend a lot on the individual kid, but they should all take into account the big changes under way in a 5-year-old‘s life: The start of school, new friendships and an evolving relationship with parents that can make for a tumultuous and transformative year. The best books for 5-year-olds will hook into their daily emotional experiences and reflect their lives right back to them. These books for 5-year-olds will ensure they remain interested as both the narratives and the ethics of the characters grow more complex.
