12 Best Books for 6-Year-Olds

"Any list of the best books for 6-year-olds is going to have a lot of variety on it. By this age, some kids are already reading for themselves and starting to explore short chapter books. Some are enjoying more complicated, longer picture books, and some are re-visiting old favourites over and over as they practice their own reading skills. And it's a fair bet that most 6-year-olds also still enjoy sitting down with their grown-ups and having a bedtime story, in whatever form that takes. This list of the best books for 6-year-olds celebrates that variety, and picks out some newer authors alongside the older, reliable ones."
