I recently did a post sharing some must read books recommended by some of my book blogger buddies. If you missed the post you can find it here: http://www.jolinsdell.com/2018/05/must-read-books-recommended-by-book.html.
Today I wanted to do the same thing but for children's books. I'm a mum of two boys, and an author and illustrator of children's picture story books, so this is something I'm passionate about. You can find my children's books on my Amazon author page ;)
There are so many awesome books out there for kids. Kidlit is also an extra special genre as it helps create future readers and a love of literature.

I've reviewed numerous children's books here on the blog. Some of my favourites include; Spoon, Once Upon An Ordinary School Day, and pretty much anything and everything by Julia Donaldson. I wanted to find some new good books for children though and so asked my book blogging buddies to share a children's book they gave a 5 star review to.

What's one of your favourite children's books?
What a great list!!
ReplyDeleteThey had some great suggestions. Will be checking some of these out with my kids.
DeleteThis is a fantastic list! I love the Shakespeare addition to it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to check that one out myself :)
DeleteGreat choices! I won a copy of Don't Look Behind Door 32 Via the wonderful Whispering Stories blog and recently read it to my 4 year old grandson. He absolutely loved it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard others saying good things about that one too. Congrats on winning a copy.
DeleteAww, so many adorable books!
ReplyDeleteMy 6 year old loves The Little Prince (we have a copy in Italian) 😊
DeleteSo cute and colorful
ReplyDeleteI love how colourful children's books are but saying that my absolute favourite is Spoon and it's not really colourful at all. Mainly grey.
DeleteWonderful! Will pick these up for my son soon! I also really love Julia Donaldson books 😊
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Julia Donaldson in our house. I think I know most of her books off by heart. The Gruffalo has been a favourite for years, but others like Stickman, Broom on the Broom, and Superworm are all good too. I don't think she's published a book we didn't like.
DeleteGreat list, Jo! I didn't realize until this post that you write and illustrate children's books. That is awesome! When I have kids someday, I will keep you in mind!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks! :)
DeleteLove this post idea! Cute selections this time around.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of doing these type of posts more often. Great way to find out about lots of awesome books all in the one go.
DeleteThis list has such cute books! I really feel like reading some children's books.
ReplyDeleteIf you have to pick just one to read, make it Spoon. Seriously the best children's picture story book.
DeleteSuch cute books! ♥️
ReplyDeleteI love children's books.
DeleteI have been working on a similar post but we only have 1 book in common: The Little Prince :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your post. The Little Prince is definitely a classic that is sure to show up on a lot of lists.
