Do you remember your favorite childhood book? From Green Eggs & Ham to Where the Sidewalk Ends, there's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you read a classic children's book. And for most of us adults, it was probably a classic children's book that first introduced us to the wonderful world of literature. Here at ThriftBooks, we have tons of classic titles that'll bring back your childhood memories and create new memories for the kids in your life!
What Is A Classic Children's Book?
Classic children's books aren't defined by a logo or a special sticker. What they do have is the ability to jumpstart your imagination, no matter your age. They give you a glimpse into a different perspective of life, usually from a child's point of view. They also tend to teach us life-long lessons in entertaining and unforgettable ways.
I mean, who could forget the power of friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur in Charlotte's Web by E.B. White? If you've ever read Matilda by Roald Dahl, you know that the main character used her love of books to escape the harsh reality of her life. And Louisa May Alcott's Little Women illustrates the value of kindness and forgiveness.
Kickstart A Love Of Learning
Give your child something they'll want to read. Falling in love with a great story as a kid will create a hunger to learn, as the child realizes that each funny line, each turned page, and each chapter they read teaches them more about the world we live in and the people in it. Reading is a part of our everyday lives, and learning how to read helps children make sense of the world around them.
