Best Books for Kids

Looking for a good read for your children? Then dive into our list of the best children's books of all time, curated by the Novelso review team.

1. Dory Fantasmagory by Abby Hanlon

Dory has a hard time keeping her fantasy life to herself—her imaginary best friend (a monster named Mary), imaginary enemy (Mrs. Gobble Gracker) and fairy godmother (Mr. Nugy, who she calls on a banana) are as real as her family and school pals. This delightful, wildly creative five-volume series gets into the wonders and uncertainties that course through every young mind: These books will speak to your child. It doesn’t hurt that you’ll get as much out of Dory’s adventures as your little one. Ages 5-10

2. Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin

Every child knows that dragons love tacos—and can’t deal with spicy salsa. This goofy, playful, imaginative book has become a contemporary classic, and surefire hit at storytime. When you’re done with this, be sure to get the even weirder Dragons Love Tacos 2—because in some parallel universe, dragons love diapers! Ages 7 and under

3. The Book with No Pictures by B. J. Novak

How can a picture book with no pictures be any fun? Easy. The rules of every children’s book is: The grownup has to read every word on the page–every word–no matter how ridiculous. In this book, the words get really ridiculous to the complete delight of your child. The Book with No Pictures brings new meaning to the phrase “Ba-DOONGY FACE!” Ages 7 and under
