My 4 children are currently ages 8, 7, 4, and 2, at the time of this post. My older girls do enjoy longer read-alouds and chapter books, but for the most part I’ll focus on easier reads. Here are 10 books they love right now: 1. Tintin and the Picaros (Hergé) My two older girls have actually read the entire set of Tintin books (minus Tintin in the Congo, which is currently not really accessible where racism and some other issues are a little too much to try to discuss at this point). My husband had these books as a child, and their entry into the world of Tintin began with his childhood copy of this book, which subsequently spurred on our now 7-year-old to become a voracious reader. 2. Frog and Toad Together (Arnold Lobel) We love all the Frog and Toad series, but this collection (“A List,” “In the Garden,” “Cookies,” “Dragons and Giants,” and “The Dream”) takes the cake.
