Books the world over are beloved by children. There are a few good books for kids that have been in circulation for ages and are still read by kids of all ages. They can be found at any library. There are also some lists that are devoted to compiling all the favorite books for kids.
For toddlers, Where The Wild Things Are, a book by Maurice Sendak, a writer and illustrator, has always been a favorite. About a boy named Max who sails to the land of Wild Things, monsters whom he befriends. Though first receiving negative reviews at first, children began checking the book out of the library constantly and repeatedly and the book soon received high critical praise.
Another favorite is called Goodnight Moon and it's about a little child who says goodnight to the things around him, and especially the moon.
Older kids may know classics like Mark Twains fictional stories and the books of Shel Silverstein, most popularly Where The Sidewalk Ends. These have been read in school or have been featured in libraries. Both Twain and Silverstein have a huge following and have written many books for kids.
The beloved Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Old Yeller by Fred Gibson, both of which received the Newbery Medal award, are timeless classics enjoyed by children of all ages and adults too.
The Harriet the Spy series is another well loved and popular series, as well as books by Judy Blume. Shes another prolific writer who has managed to write dozens of well loved children and young adult books. Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys also stay popular with children.
Authors Roald Dahl and Judi Barrett have both written books that have become movies, hers with Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and his with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They are read in classrooms all over the United States.
