10 book recommendations for children

The love of reading is a hobby that, as parents, we want to encourage in our children. From a young age, we must promote this habit, that’s why we have these 10 book recommendations for children.

In addition to developing language skills, reading stimulates the imagination since, through its pages, a book can transport them to other worlds.

The Ministry of Public Education (SEP) recommends that parents allocate a moment of the day to read to make it a habit and respect children’s tastes when they choose a book; in this way, they will see reading as a pleasurable activity.

Donde viven los monstruos (Where the Wild Things Are) by Maurice Sendak

After playing pranks at home, one night, his mother punishes him by going to his room, which suddenly turns into a jungle. This book is a classic for children; its illustrations will make reading more enjoyable. Editorial Kalandraka.
