At our house we love children's books. That's why I love making book lists for kids. I always like to give my readers a glimpse into our library bag. On any given day you will see us curled up on the couch reading books from our latest trip to the library.
As a former teacher, I have hundreds of books lining the shelves in our homeschool room. I love to use books for unit studies in our homeschool. Nothing rounds out a unit study quite like a bag full of good children's books. I like to search for quality books for unit studies, often searching the library and the used book store. The lists in this page are books that we have used for our own homeschool unit studies. Since I was a former teacher and now homeschool my children, I've gathered the lists of books for kids with unit studies in mind.
However, you don't have to use these for teaching or homeschooling! These awesome books for kids are perfect for finding the perfect book for snuggling up on the couch together and reading just for reading's sake. These themed book lists for kids are great for kids who can't get enough of one topic, too.
The lists of books for kids is broken up into category to help you find them easier. They are also placed in alphabetical order for your convenience.
