It’s almost the end of the week, but before we wrap it up, I wanted to share 20 wonderful children's books that our little ones (ages 4 and 6) have been loving lately!
The topics are all over the place—some are sweet and cozy, some are laugh-out-loud funny, and others are just downright magical. But the one thing they all have in common? They’re engaging, beautifully written, and many have even won literary awards for their inspiring stories and creative storytelling.
Every week, I put together a fresh list of 20 books to check out from our local library. It’s become such a fun tradition—one that keeps our bookshelves (and hearts) full. Not only does it give us new stories to enjoy together, but it’s also been a great way to spark curiosity, imagination, and connection as a family.
📚✨ 20 Beautiful Books to Read with Your Little Ones (Ages 3-6) ✨📚
One of my favorite things about reading with kids is finding those stories that stick with you—the ones you can’t wait to read again, the ones that spark big questions or quiet wonder, the ones that just feel like home when you turn the pages. 💛
I’ve put together a list of 20 books that are pure magic for ages 3-6. Some are classics, some are hidden gems, but all of them are worth checking out from the library (or keeping forever on your shelves).
These stories are full of cozy moments, big adventures, and the kind of gentle wisdom that lingers long after the last page. Some are silly, some are breathtakingly beautiful, and a few might even make you tear up in the best way.
