It is Children’s Book Week from May 13-19. I thought I would list our favorite children’s books in this week’s post. I asked my daughter and son to list theirs.

IMG_1155 I will start with my son’s favorites. (Turning 8 y.o. in 2 weeks) He is very much into books with Star Wars, Lego Hero Factory and other Lego characters. He told me these are his favorites now.

  • Tomb of the Fangpye
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The New Padawan
  • Lego Hero Factory: The Doom Box

IMG_1154He loves books, that involves writing and illustration.

  • The Usborne Write your own story book
  • The Wimpy kid, Do-it-yourself book
  • Art2-D2’s Guide to folding and doodling

His other favorite chapter book series:

  • Wimpy kids 
  • Dragonbreath
  • Captain Underpants
  • Geronimo Stilton
  • Magic Tree House

IMG_1156My daughter (5,5 y.o.) listed these three as her favorites.

  • What is a Princess?
  • Sleepy Head
  • Let’s go riding!

IMG_1152Along with Rainbow Magic: Fairy Princess series,I’ve written about in my last week’s “What we’re reading” post, my daughter likes the Pinkalicious Pink-a-rama series.

IMG_1150Here are my all time favorite children’s books. Anything by Dr. Seuss. No explanation needed here.

  • Six by Seuss
  • Horton hears a who!
  • One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
  • Oh! The places you’ll go
  • There’s a wocket in my pocket
  • Yertle the Turle and other stories
  • I can read with my eyes shut

  • Bear Feels Sick: How can you not love that cuddly bear? I love Karma Wilson’s Bear Books.
  • How are you peeling?: Did you know veggies and fruits have feelings? This book is not only fun but it’s a work of art.
  • When Findus was little and disappeared: Sven Nordqvist is a Swedish children’s books author and illustrator. I got this book from Gothenburg, along with a Pippi Longstocking book. I love this book for its simple, heartwarming story and detailed illustrations.  Findus has many other adventures.

    I adore books. We have so many, which is a great thing for the wee ones. They both adore the Gregor the Overlander series and the Bone books. We’re rediscovering the Geronimo Stilton books again, partly because I picked up one of the audiobooks to put in my car. I’m sort of jealous of all the “girlie” books because mine won’t touch them, but… at least I can reuse the books across both kids? I do miss the little kid books like When Bear Gets Sick, but the Dr. Seuss ones are never EVER going away. I’m keeping that collection. That and my Sandra Boynton books!

    Hi Cynthia, Thank for visiting Practical Mama and letting me know about the DIY Book. I heard it from you and I’ll definitely check it out. We need to visit the library and get our summer reading list straight. Unfortunately, CPS in Chicago starts summer recess on June 25. Still 3 weeks to go.
