The countdown is on so I’m sharing my last Gift Guide
installment for your last minute shopping ideas. If the kids in your life are
anything like mine, they all have way too many toys. I buy for a lot of kids at
the holidays and one theme I always stick to is books. No matter what, they all
get at least one book.
I’m such a big advocate for promoting reading – especially
in the fast paced, technology driven world that we all live in. There’s just
nothing like curling up on the couch with an actual, printed book in your
hands.
Here are some great children’s series that you should share
with the kids in your life.
I recently discovered this company and I LOVE their books.
You can find a book for every age child. The best part is that all of their
books are so unique and interactive. And, they cost the same as you would spend
at one of those big chain stores. I bought a ton of books this year from them
for kids aged 6 months to 11 years!
I feel like this series goes without saying for those kids 7
and older (or so). I read this series as an adult and loved it. It’s so well
written and transports you to the most fun, imaginative world. If no one has
read this series – start them on it now!
This was one of my favorite series growing up and was so
happy to see that you could still find these books in stores. They tell the
story of 4 orphaned children who make a home in an abandoned boxcar. They
eventually turn into amateur sleuths and solve crazy mysteries. The best part
is that there are over 137 books in the series so, as long as you keep track of
which ones you’ve bought, you’ll never go wrong!
If you haven’t ever heard of this series, please go look it
up right now. Amelia Bedilia is such a fun, lighthearted children’s series that
while dates back to the 60’s, still remains a classic today. The series follows
the hilarious day to day activities of Amelia, a maid who is always taking
things her employer says literally and ends up in comical situations because of
it.
This series is a newer one that my niece recently introduced
me to. There are 10 books that follow the life of a meek middle schooler who
struggles to fit in. The books are filled with fun drawings and hand written
notes that make it look like a child’s diary. Perfect for any kid on the brink
of (or in) middle school.
HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
