Last month, we asked BubbleLife readers to help us build up our reading lists by telling us their favorite children’s books. Whether they’re reading for homework or as part of a bedtime ritual, reading is an important part of any child’s day. Thanks to our readers, we received plenty of responses with the perfect books to inspire young minds, with a few laughs thrown into the mix!
Take a look at our compilation of old classics and new favorites, and be sure to leave a comment telling us about your favorite children’s book!
